Abstract:
To any $n$-dimensional random vector $X$ we may associate its $L_p$-centroid body $\mathcal Z_p(X)$ and the corresponding norm. We formulate a conjecture concerning the bound on the $\mathcal Z_p(X)$-norm of $X$ and show that it holds under some additional symmetry assumptions. We also relate our conjecture with estimates of covering numbers and Sudakov-type minoration bounds.
Key words and phrases:$L_p$-centroid body, log-concave distribution, metric entropy, Sudakov minoration.
