Abstract:
Given a centered convex body $K\subseteq \mathbb {R}^n$, we study the optimal value of the constant $\tilde {\Lambda }(K)$ such that there exists an orthonormal basis $\{w_i\}_{i=1}^n$ for which the following reverse dual Loomis-Whitney inequality holds: \begin{equation*} |K|^{n-1}\leqslant \tilde {\Lambda }(K)\prod _{i=1}^n|K\cap w_i^\perp |. \end{equation*} We prove that $\tilde {\Lambda }(K)\leqslant (CL_K)^n$ for some absolute $C>1$ and that this estimate in terms of $L_K$, the isotropic constant of $K$, is asymptotically sharp in the sense that there exist another absolute constant $c>1$ and a convex body $K$ such that $(cL_K)^n\leqslant \tilde {\Lambda }(K)\leqslant (CL_K)^n$. We also prove more general reverse dual Loomis-Whitney inequalities as well as reverse restricted versions of Loomis-Whitney and dual Loomis-Whitney inequalities.References
