Concentration for independent random variables with heavy tails
Franck Barthe, Patrick Cattiaux, Cyril Roberto
If a random variable is not exponentially integrable, it is known that no concentration inequality holds for an infinite sequence of independent copies. Under mild conditions, we e…

A probabilistic approach to the geometry of the \ell_p^n-ball
Franck Barthe, Olivier Guedon, Shahar Mendelson +1
This article investigates, by probabilistic methods, various geometric questions on B_p^n, the unit ball of \ell_p^n. We propose realizations in terms of independent random variabl…
