Abstract

We consider an extremal problem for subsets of high-dimensional spheres that can be thought of as an extension of the classical isoperimetric problem on the sphere. Let AA be a subset of the (m1)(m-1)-dimensional sphere Sm1\mathbb{S}^{m-1}, and let ySm1\mathbf{y}\in \mathbb{S}^{m-1} be a randomly chosen point on the sphere. What is the measure of the intersection of the tt-neighborhood of the point y\mathbf{y} with the subset AA? We show that with high probability this intersection is approximately as large as the intersection that would occur with high probability if AA were a spherical cap of the same measure.
