Abstract
Let be the cube of side length one centered at the origin in , and let be an affine -dimensional subspace of having distance to the origin less than or equal to , where . We show that the -dimensional volume of the section is bounded below by a value depending only on the codimension but not on the ambient dimension or a particular subspace . In the case of hyperplanes, , we show that is a possible choice. We also consider a complex analogue of this problem for a hyperplane section of the polydisc.
