Example where concentration of measure fails nontrivially

A metric probability space $(X, \mu, \rho)$, i.e., a complete separable metric space with a probability measure on its Borel sets, is said to satisfy (Gaussian) concentration of measure property if ...

Gaussian isoperimetry for $\ell_p$ norms

Let $\gamma_n$ be the standard Gaussian measure on $\mathbb R^n$. It is well-known (e.g see Proposition 1) that for a given Gaussian volume content, half-spaces $H=\{x \in \mathbb R^n | a^Tx \le b\}$ ...

Transportation-cost inequality for pushforward measure

Let $X=(X,d_X)$ and $Y=(X,d_Y)$ be metric spaces and $\varphi: X\rightarrow Y$ be an $L$-Lipschitz map, with $0 \le L < \infty$. Suppose $\mu$ is a probability measure on $X$ which satisfies ...
