Nov 25, 2017 at 21:09 comment added Yaakov Baruch After thinking a bit more, I think that for affine $f$ a plausible bound may be $\alpha\ge \frac{1}{n+1}|P|$, which seems to be achieved when the kernel of $f$ cuts a hypercube half way between 2 opposite vertices.

Nov 24, 2017 at 20:12 comment added Paata Ivanishvili I think you are right (at least this is true in dimension n=1 based on my early morning calculations).
Nov 24, 2017 at 13:43 comment added Yaakov Baruch Just to get some feeling for this question: would it be true that if $f$ is the restriction of an affine map, then a lower bound would be $\alpha\ge 2^{-1}|P|$ (regardless of of $n$)? If so, would that be sharp (for every $P$)?
