Rademacher Projection in Non-Symmetric Convex Bodies - Alexander Litvak

Explore a 56-minute lecture on the Rademacher projection in non-symmetric convex bodies, presented by Alexander Litvak at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics. Delve into the complexities of bounding the norm of the Rademacher projection for centrally symmetric and non-symmetric convex bodies. Examine the relationship between the Banach-Mazur distance and the norm of the Rademacher projection, and discover how these concepts apply to the MM* problem. Learn about the sharpness of the bound on the norm of the Rademacher projection, demonstrated through the construction of specific convex bodies. Gain insights into joint work with F. Nazarov, which extends our understanding of these mathematical concepts in non-symmetric cases.
