Reverse Loomis-Whitney inequalities via isotropicity

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

Given a centered convex body K⊆RnK\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n, we study the optimal value of the constant Λ~(K)\tildeΛ(K) such that there exists an orthonormal basis {wi}i=1n\{w_i\}_{i=1}^n for which the following reverse dual Loomis-Whitney inequality holds: ∣K∣n−1⩽Λ~(K)∏i=1n∣K∩wi⊥∣. |K|^{n-1}\leqslant \tildeΛ(K)\prod_{i=1}^n|K\cap w_i^\perp|. We prove that Λ~(K)⩽(CLK)n\tildeΛ(K)\leqslant(CL_K)^n for some absolute C>1C>1 and that this estimate in terms of LKL_K, the isotropic constant of KK, is asymptotically sharp in the sense that there exists another absolute constant c>1c>1 and a convex body KK such that (cLK)n⩽Λ~(K)⩽(CLK)n(cL_K)^n\leqslant\tildeΛ(K)\leqslant(CL_K)^n. We also prove more general reverse dual Loomis-Whitney inequalities as well as reverse restricted versions of Loomis-Whitney and dual Loomis-Whitney inequalities.
