A note about the uniform distribution on the intersection of a simplex and a sphere

Probability 2016-09-27 v3

Abstract

Uniform probability distributions on p\ell_p balls and spheres have been studied extensively and are known to behave like product measures in high dimensions. In this note we consider the uniform distribution on the intersection of a simplex and a sphere. Certain new and interesting features, such as phase transitions and localization phenomena emerge.
