The largest volume ratio of given convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is defined as $$\mbox{lvr}(K):= \sup_{L \subset \mathbb{R}^n} \mbox{vr}(K,L),$$ where the $\sup$ runs over all the convex bodies $L$. We prove the following sharp lower…

Let $K$ be an isotropic symmetric convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$. We show that a subspace $F\in G_{n,n-k}$ of codimension $k=\gamma n$, where $\gamma\in (1/\sqrt{n},1)$, satisfies $$K\cap F\subseteq \frac{c}{\gamma }\sqrt{n}L_K (B_2^n\cap…

We investigate the asymptotic best approximation of a smooth, strictly convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ by inscribed polytopes with a restricted number of vertices under the intrinsic volume difference. We prove rigidity phenomena in both…

Let K be a compact convex body in Rd, let Kn be the convex hull of n points chosen uniformly and independently in K, and let fi(Kn) denote the number of i-dimensional faces of Kn. We show that for planar convex sets, E(f0(Kn)) is increasing…

We show that the spectral norm of a random $n_1\times n_2\times \cdots \times n_K$ tensor (or higher-order array) scales as $O\left(\sqrt{(\sum_{k=1}^{K}n_k)\log(K)}\right)$ under some sub-Gaussian assumption on the entries. The proof is…
