We prove that the Bourgain slicing conjecture and the Kannan-Lov\'asz-Simonovits (KLS) isoperimetric conjecture in $\mathbb{R}^n$ hold true up to a factor of $\sqrt{\log n}$. A new ingredient used in the proof is an improved log-concave…

We prove that Bourgain's hyperplane conjecture and the Kannan-Lov\'asz-Simonovits (KLS) isoperimetric conjecture hold true up to a factor that is polylogarithmic in the dimension.

These are lecture notes focusing on recent progress towards Bourgain's slicing problem and the isoperimetric conjecture proposed by Kannan, Lovasz and Simonovits (KLS).

In a recent work, Bo'az Klartag showed that, given a convex body with minimal volume product, its isotropic constant is related to its volume product. As a consequence, he obtained that a strong version of the slicing conjecture implies…

In 1957, Hadwiger conjectured that every convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be covered by $2^d$ translates of its interior. For over 60 years, the best known bound was of the form $O(4^d \sqrt{d} \log d)$, but this was recently improved by a…

This note is to study Bourgain's slicing problem following the routes investigated in the last decade. We show that the slicing constant $L_n$ is bounded by $C\log(\log n) $, $n\geq 3$, for some universal constant $C$.

In this paper, we would like to derive three-ball inequalities and propagation of smallness for the complex second order elliptic equation with discontinuous Lipschitz coefficients. As an application of such estimates, we study the size…

Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities are a powerful way to estimate the rate of convergence of Markov chains and to derive concentration inequalities on distributions. We prove that the log-Sobolev constant of any isotropic logconcave density…

We prove an almost constant lower bound of the isoperimetric coefficient in the KLS conjecture. The lower bound has the dimension dependency $d^{-o_d(1)}$. When the dimension is large enough, our lower bound is tighter than the previous…

We give a new geometric proof of a conjecture of Fulton on the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. This conjecture was firstly proved by Knutson, Tao and Woodward using the Honeycomb theory. A geometric proof was given by Belkale. Our proof…

This paper contains a number of results related to volumes of projective perturbations of convex bodies and the Laplace transform on convex cones. First, it is shown that a sharp version of Bourgain's slicing conjecture implies the Mahler…

We provide the final step in the resolution of Bourgain's slicing problem in the affirmative. Thus we establish the following theorem: for any convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ of volume one, there exists a hyperplane $H \subseteq…

The Collatz and $abc$ conjectures, both well known and thoroughly studied, appear to be largely unrelated at first sight. We show that assuming the $abc$ conjecture true is helpful to improve the lower bound of integers initiating a…

Having its origin in theoretical computer science, the Kannan-Lov\'asz-Simonovits (KLS) conjecture is one of the major open problems in asymptotic convex geometry and high-dimensional probability theory today. In this work, we establish a…

We study the Banach-Mazur distance between random normed spaces generated by centrally symmetric random polytopes associated with isotropic log-concave measures in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We show that, in a wide range of parameters, if…

The idea of slicing divergences has been proven to be successful when comparing two probability measures in various machine learning applications including generative modeling, and consists in computing the expected value of a `base…

Using recent development in motivic infinite loop space theory, we offer short and conceptual reproofs of some conjectures of Voevodsky's on the slice filtration using the birational geometry of Hilbert schemes. The original proofs were due…

The Collatz conjecture is a famous math problem that was introduced by Lothar Collatz in 1937, and nobody has yet succeeded in proving or disproving it. In this article, I will analyze this problem with a new approach and I will discuss my…
