It is well-known that measures whose density is the form $e^{-V}$ where $V$ is a uniformly convex potential on $\RR^n$ attain strong concentration properties. In search of a notion of log-concavity on the discrete hypercube, we consider…

Convexity properties of the entropy along displacement interpolations are crucial in the Lott-Sturm-Villani theory of lower bounded curvature of geodesic measure spaces. As discrete spaces fail to be geodesic, an alternate analogous theory…

The isoperimetric problem with a density or weighting seeks to enclose prescribed weighted area with minimum weighted perimeter. According to Chambers' recent proof of the Log Convex Density Conjecture, for many densities on $\mathbb{R}^n$…

The well-studied vector balancing constant $\beta(U, V)$ of a pair of convex bodies $(U,V)$, is lower bounded by a lattice counterpart, $\alpha(U,V)$. In [BS97], Banaszczyk and Szarek proved that $\alpha(B_2^n, V)\leq c$ when $V$ has…
