Central limit theorems for Gaussian polytopes

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1 Probability

Abstract

Choose nn random, independent points in Rd\R^d according to the standard normal distribution. Their convex hull KnK_n is the {\sl Gaussian random polytope}. We prove that the volume and the number of faces of KnK_n satisfy the central limit theorem, settling a well known conjecture in the field.
