Logarithmically-concave moment measures I

Abstract

We discuss a certain Riemannian metric, related to the toric Kähler-Einstein equation, that is associated in a linearly-invariant manner with a given log-concave measure in Rn. We use this metric in order to bound the second derivatives of the solution to the toric Kähler-Einstein equation, and in order to obtain spectral-gap estimates similar to those of Payne and Weinberger.
