An example related to the slicing inequality for general measures

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For ninmathbbN let Sn be the smallest number S>0 satisfying the inequality int_K f le S cdot |K|^{frac 1n} cdot max_{xiin S^{n-1}} int_{Kcap xi^�ot} f for all centrally-symmetric convex bodies K in mathbbRn and all even, continuous probability densities f on K. Here |K| is the volume of K. It was proved by the second-named author that Snle2sqrtn, and in analogy with Bourgain's slicing problem, it was asked whether Sn is bounded from above by a universal constant. In this note we construct an example showing that Sngecsqrtn/sqrtloglogn, where c>0 is an absolute constant. Additionally, for any 0<alpha<2 we describe a related example that satisfies the so-called psialpha-condition.
