Abstract: Recently, Bo'az Klartag showed that arbitrary convex bodies have Gaussian marginals in most directions. We show that Klartag's quantitative estimates may be improved for many uniformly convex bodies. These include uniformly convex bodies with power type 2, and power type $p>2$ with some additional type condition. In particular, our results apply to all unit-balls of subspaces of quotients of $L_p$ for $1<p<infty$. The same is true when $L_p$ is replaced by $S_p^m$, the $l_p$-Schatten class space. We also extend our results to arbitrary uniformly convex bodies with power type $p$, for $2leqp<4$. These results are obtained by putting the bodies in (surprisingly) non-isotropic positions and by a new concentration of volume observation for uniformly convex bodies.
