Abstract

For n∈N, let S n be the smallest number S>0 satisfying the inequality ∫Kf≤S⋅|K| [Formula presented]⋅maxξ∈S n−1⁡∫K∩ξ f for all centrally-symmetric convex bodies K in R n and all even, continuous probability densities f on K. Here |K| is the volume of K. It was proved in [16] that S n≤2n, and in analogy with Bourgain's slicing problem, it was asked whether S n is bounded from above by a universal constant. In this note we construct an example showing that S n≥cn/log⁡log⁡n, where c>0 is an absolute constant. Additionally, for any 0<α<2 we describe a related example that satisfies the so-called ψ α-condition.
