We refine the recent breakthrough technique of Klartag and Lehec to obtain an improved polylogarithmic bound for the KLS constant.

  1. Affirmative Resolution of Bourgain's Slicing Problem using Guan's Bound

    math.MG 2024-12 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Bourgain's slicing problem is resolved: every volume-one convex body in R^n has a hyperplane section of (n-1)-volume at least a universal constant c > 0.

  2. The KLS constant is $O(\log^{1/4} n)$

    math.PR 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Every isotropic log-concave measure satisfies a quadratic-form Poincaré inequality with constant 2, which implies the KLS constant is at most C log^{1/4} n.

  3. Digesting the proof of the sharp thin-shell inequality

    math.MG 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The optimal constant in the log-concave variance conjecture is E[(|X|²−n)²] ≤ 8n, attained by iid standard centered exponentials; a companion sharp bound holds for third moments and for the simplex among convex bodies.

  4. Regularized Dikin Walks for Sampling Truncated Logconcave Measures, Mixed Isoperimetry and Beyond Worst-Case Analysis

    cs.DS 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The soft-threshold Dikin walk mixes in O((m+kappa)n) iterations for truncated logconcave targets, supported by a new isoperimetric inequality combining Euclidean and Hilbert metrics.

  5. Improved generalization bounds for binary linear classification via isoperimetry

    stat.ML 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Uniform generalization errors in binary linear classification concentrate around their expectation at O(1/sqrt(n)) rates under unbounded Lipschitz losses, via new log-Sobolev inequalities for (Y_i X_i, Y_i).

  6. On the Statistical Capacity of Deep Generative Models

    stat.ML 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Push-forwards of Gaussian or log-concave latent variables through Lipschitz neural networks are always sub-Gaussian or sub-exponential, so common deep generative models cannot generate heavy-tailed distributions.
