Abstract: If X is a subset of a Banach space with XX homogeneous, then X can be embedded into some Rn (with n sufficiently large) using a linear map L whose inverse is Lipschitz to within logarithmic corrections. More precisely, c,frac{|x-y|}{|,log|x-y|,|^alpha}le|Lx-Ly|le c|x-y| for all x,yinX with |xy|<delta for some delta sufficiently small. A simple argument shows that one must have alpha>1 in the case of a general Banach space and alpha>1/2 in the case of a Hilbert space. It is shown in this paper that these exponents can be achieved. While the argument in a general Banach space is relatively straightforward, the Hilbert space case relies on a result due to Ball (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 97 (1986) 465-473) which guarantees that the maximum volume of hyperplane slices of the unit cube in Rd is sqrt2, in dependent of d.
