Low M^*-estimates on coordinate subspaces

Abstract: Let

K

be a symmetric convex body in

{m a t h b f R}^{n}

. It is well-known that for every

h e t a i n (0, 1)

there exists a subspace

F

of

{m a t h b f R}^{n}

with

m d i m F = [(1 - h e t a) n]

such that

{mathcal P}_F(K)supseteq frac{csqrt{ heta }} {M_K}D_ncap F,leqno (ast )

where

{m a t h c a l P}_{F}

denotes the orthogonal projection onto

F

. Consider a fixed coordinate system in

{m a t h b f R}^{n}

. We study the question whether an analogue of (

a s t

) can be obtained when one is restricted to choose

F

among the coordinate subspaces

{m a t h b f R}^{s i g m a},; s i g m a s u b s e t e q 1, l d o t s, n

, with

| s i g m a | = [(1 - h e t a) n]

. We prove several ``coordinate versions" of (

a s t

) in terms of the cotype-2 constant, of the volume ratio and other parameters of

K

. The basic source of our estimates is an exact coordinate analogue of (

a s t

) in the ellipsoidal case. Applications to the computation of the number of lattice points inside a convex body are considered throughout the paper.
