Namely, let X be an isotropic random vector in R^n with a log-concave density. For a typical subspace E in R^n of dimension n^c, consider the probability density of the projection of X onto E. We show that the ratio between this probability density and the standard gaussian density in E is very close to 1 in large parts of E. Here c > 0 is a universal constant. This complements a recent result by the second named author, where the total-variation metric between the densities was considered.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-08-18T23:27:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "convex bodies", "pointwise estimates", "multi-dimensional central limit theorem", "probability density", "isotropic random vector" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0708.2513E" } } }
