On symmetry and measure concentration rate for convex bodies

The concentration of measure on the cube $ [0, 1]^n $ equipped with uniform probability measure $\mu_{\infty}$, states that for any $A \subset [0, 1]^n $ with $ \mu_{\infty}(A) \geq \frac{1}{2} $, we ...

Is there a polynomial expression for the volume of the following set?

Denote the unit $\ell_2$ ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ as $\mathcal{B}_n$. It is widely kown that for a convex body $\mathcal{K}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, the $n$-dimensional volume of the parallel body $\...
