Distributional stability of the Szarek and Ball inequalities

Alexandros Eskenazis, Piotr Nayar, Tomasz Tkocz

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 fract…

Resilience of cube slicing in

Alexandros Eskenazis, Piotr Nayar, Tomasz Tkocz

Ball's celebrated cube slicing (1986) asserts that among hyperplane sections of the cube in , the central section orthogonal to has the greatest vol…

Extremal sections and projections of certain convex bodies: a survey

Piotr Nayar, Tomasz Tkocz

We survey results concerning sharp estimates on volumes of sections and projections of certain convex bodies, mainly balls, by and onto lower dimensional subspaces. This s…

Log-concavity and discrete degrees of freedom

Jacek Jakimiuk, Daniel Murawski, Piotr Nayar +1

We develop the notion of discrete degrees of freedom of a log-concave sequence and use it to prove that geometric distribution minimises Rényi entropy of order infinity under fixed…

Rényi entropy and variance comparison for symmetric log-concave random variables

Maciej Białobrzeski, Piotr Nayar

We show that for any the Rényi entropy of order is minimized, among all symmetric log-concave random variables with fixed variance, either for a uniform distribution or f…

Slicing -balls reloaded: stability, planar sections in

Giorgos Chasapis, Piotr Nayar, Tomasz Tkocz

We show that the two-dimensional minimum-volume central section of the -dimensional cross-polytope is attained by the regular -gon. We establish stability-type results for h…
