Talagrand's "Creating convexity" conjecture
We say a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$ is balanced if
\begin{equation}
x \in A, \lambda \in [-1,1] \implies \lambda x \in A.
\end{equation}
Given a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$, we write

Existence of preferred direction for a random vector with arbitrary distribution on sphere, under a condition on its covariance matrix
Let $X$ be random vector on the unit-sphere $S_{n-1}$ in $\mathbb R^n$. We don't assume that the distribution of $X$ is uniform on $S_{n-1}$
I'm interested in proving the existence of a (...
