Abstract
Résumé

We establish sharp concentration of mass for isotropic convex bodies: there exists an absolute constant $c > 0$ such that if K is an isotropic convex body in $R^{n}$ , then

Prob ({x \in K : ‖ x ‖_{2} ⩾ c \sqrt{n} L_{K} t}) ⩽ \exp (- \sqrt{n} t)

for every

t ⩾ 1

, where

L_{K}

denotes the isotropic constant.

Nous démontrons qu'il existe une constante absolue $c > 0$ , telle que, si K est un corps convexe isotrope, alors

Prob ({x \in K : ‖ x ‖_{2} ⩾ c \sqrt{n} L_{K} t}) ⩽ \exp (- \sqrt{n} t)

pour tout

t ⩾ 1

, où

L_{K}

désigne la constante d'isotropie.
