The Kannan-Lov\'asz-Simonovits conjecture says that the Cheeger constant of any logconcave density is achieved to within a universal, dimension-independent constant factor by a hyperplane-induced subset. Here we survey the origin and consequences of the conjecture (in geometry, probability, information theory and algorithms) as well as recent progress resulting in the current best bounds. The conjecture has lead to several techniques of general interest.

  1. Quantum algorithm for estimating volumes of convex bodies

    quant-ph 2019-08 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    A quantum algorithm estimates the volume of an n-dimensional convex body within error epsilon using O-tilde(n^3 + n^2.5/epsilon) membership queries, the first quantum speedup for this task.

  2. Minimum Norm Interpolation via The Local Theory of Banach Spaces: The Role of Gaussianity

    math.ST 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The sharp MSE bound for the ℓ1-minimum-norm interpolator under isotropic Gaussian covariates is recovered via the geometry of symmetric Gaussian polytopes, without the convex Gaussian min-max theorem.

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

  5. Poincare Inequality for Local Log-Polyak-\L ojasiewicz Measures: Non-asymptotic Analysis in Low-temperature Regime

    math.PR 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For Gibbs measures whose optimal set is a compact submanifold S, the Poincare constant is bounded below by the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on S, for low temperature.

  6. A simplified proof of CLT for convex bodies

    math.PR 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Simplified proof of Klartag's CLT for convex bodies via log-concave functions, with appendix on thin shell implying CLT.
