Eskenazis, Nayar and Tkocz have shown recently some resilience of Ball's celebrated cube slicing theorem, namely its analogue in $l^n_p$ for large $p$. We show that the complex analogue, i.e. resilience of the polydisc slicing theorem…

The maximal hyperplane section of the $l_\infty^n$-ball, i.e. of the $n$-cube, is the one perpendicular to 1/sqrt 2 (1,1,0, ... ,0), as shown by Ball. Eskenazis, Nayar and Tkocz extended this result to the $l_p^n$-balls for very large $p…

We study the properties of the maximal volume $k$-dimensional sections of the $n$-dimensional cube $[-1,1]^n$. We obtain a first order necessary condition for a $k$-dimensional subspace to be a local maximizer of the volume of such…

To prove by probabilistic methods that every $(n-1)$-dimensional section of the unit cube in $R^n$ has volume at most $\sqrt 2$, K. Ball made essential use of the inequality $$ \frac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \left(\frac{\sin^2…

We prove an extension of Szarek's optimal Khinchin inequality (1976) for distributions close to the Rademacher one, when all the weights are uniformly bounded by a $1/\sqrt2$ fraction of their total $\ell_2$-mass. We also show a similar…

For $2 < p < p_0 \simeq 26.265$, the hyperplane section of the $l_p^n$-unit ball $B_p^n$ perpendicular to a^(n) = 1/sqrt(n) (1, ... ,1) for large $n$ has larger volume than the one orthogonal to a^(2) = 1/sqrt(2) (1,1,0, ...,0), as shown by…

Consider a $d$-dimensional closed ball $B$ whose center coincides with that of the hypercube $[0,1]^d$. Pick the radius of $B$ in such a way that the vertices of the hypercube are outside of $B$ and the midpoints of its edges in the…

We determine the maximal hyperplane sections of the regular $n$-simplex, if the distance of the hyperplane to the centroid is fairly large, i.e. larger than the distance of the centroid to the midpoint of edges. Similar results for the…

We obtain an optimal upper bound for the normalised volume of a hyperplane section of an origin-symmetric d-dimensional cube. This confirms a conjecture posed by Imre Barany and Peter Frankl.

We show that the two-dimensional minimum-volume central section of the $n$-dimensional cross-polytope is attained by the regular $2n$-gon. We establish stability-type results for hyperplane sections of $\ell_p$-balls in all the cases where…

We find an optimal upper bound on the volume of the John ellipsoid of a $k$-dimensional section of the $n$-dimensional cube, and an optimal lower bound on the volume of the L\"owner ellipsoid of a projection of the $n$-dimensional…

The celebrated Dvoretzky theorem asserts that every $N$-dimensional convex body admits central sections of dimension $d = \Omega(\log N)$, which is nearly spherical. For many instances of convex bodies, typically unit balls with respect to…

We study the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of central hyperplane sections of the $n$-dimensional cube $Q_n$. Our main goal is two-fold: first, we provide an alternative, simpler argument for proving that the volume of the section perpendicular…

Consider the hyperplanes at a fixed distance $t$ from the center of the hypercube $[0,1]^d$. Significant attention has been given to determining the hyperplanes $H$ among these such that the $(d-1)$-dimensional volume of $H\cap[0,1]^d$ is…

We determine the maximal non-central hyperplane sections of the n-dimensional $l_1$-ball if the fixed distance of the hyperplane to the origin is between $1 / \sqrt 3$ and $1 / \sqrt 2$. This adds to a result of Liu and Tkocz who considered…

Let $Q_n$ be the cube of side length one centered at the origin in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F$ be an affine $(n-d)$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ having distance to the origin less than or equal to $\frac 1 2$, where $0<d<n$. We…

We survey results concerning sharp estimates on volumes of sections and projections of certain convex bodies, mainly $\ell_p$ balls, by and onto lower dimensional subspaces. This subject emerged from geometry of numbers several decades ago…

We show that the slicing problem holds true for subspaces of $L_p,p>2$ in the setting of arbitrary measures in place of volume. This generalizes a result of Milman for the original slicing problem.

Let $\mathbb{B}_p^N$ be the $N$-dimensional unit ball corresponding to the $\ell_p$-norm. For each $N\in\mathbb N$ we sample a uniform random subspace $E_N$ of fixed dimension $m\in\mathbb{N}$ and consider the volume of $\mathbb{B}_p^N$…

Let $\Delta_n$ and $Q_n$ denote the regular $n$-simplex of side length $\sqrt{2}$ embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and the volume one cube in $\mathbb{R}^n$, respectively. We derive a closed-form formula for the hyperplane volume projections…
