Random Euclidean embeddings in spaces of bounded volume ratio
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 339 (2004) no. 1, pp. 33-38.

Let ( N ,·) be the space N equipped with a norm ‖·‖ whose unit ball has a bounded volume ratio with respect to the Euclidean unit ball. Let Γ be any random N×n matrix with N>n, whose entries are independent random variables satisfying some moment assumptions. We show that with high probability Γ is a good isomorphism from the n-dimensional Euclidean space ( n ,|·|) onto its image in ( N ,·): there exist α,β>0 such that for all x n , αN|x|ΓxβN|x|. This solves a conjecture of Schechtman on random embeddings of ℓ2n into ℓ1N.

Soit ( N ,·) l'espace N muni d'une norme ‖·‖ dont la boule unité est à volume ratio borné par rapport à la boule unité euclidienne. On montre qu'une matrice aléatoire Γ, de taille N×n (N>n), dont les coefficients sont des variables aléatoires indépendantes, vérifiant certaines hypothèses de moments, réalise avec une grande probabilité, un bon isomorphisme de l'espace euclidien de dimension n, de norme |·|, sur son image dans ( N ,·) : il existe α,β>0 tels que pour tout x n , αN|x|ΓxβN|x| ; ce qui démontre une conjecture de Schechtman sur les plongements aléatoires de ℓ2n dans ℓ1N.
