The variance conjecture for isotropic log-concave random vectors
The variance conjecture for isotropic log-concave random vectors
Let be an isotropic log-concave random vector in , let denote the Euclidean norm, and let and denote variance and expectation.
Variance conjecture. There exists a constant such that for every isotropic log-concave random vector ,
or equivalently,
The conjecture concerns fluctuations of the squared Euclidean norm when independence is replaced by isotropy and log-concavity. The surrounding text presents it as a consequence suggested by the KLS framework and does not state a general resolution.
