Abstract

We provide the final step in the resolution of Bourgain's slicing problem in the affirmative. Thus we establish the following theorem: for any convex body KRnK \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n of volume one, there exists a hyperplane HRnH \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n such that Voln1(KH)>c, Vol_{n-1}(K \cap H) > c, where c>0c > 0 is a universal constant. Our proof combines Milman's theory of MM-ellipsoids, stochastic localization with a recent bound by Guan, and stability estimates for the Shannon-Stam inequality by Eldan and Mikulincer.
