Two hyperplane conjecture for centrally symmetric convex bodies

About 8 years old · traced to

Let Ω⊂Rn\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n be convex, bounded, and centrally symmetric, and let EE be an isoperimetric subset of Ω\Omega with ∣E∣/∣Ω∣=1/2|E|/|\Omega|=1/2. Two hyperplane conjecture. There is an absolute constant c>0c>0 such that (a) there is a convex cone Γ\Gamma with

Ω∩Γ⊂E,Ω∩(−Γ)⊂Ω∖E,∣Γ∩Ω∣≥c∣Ω∣.\Omega\cap\Gamma\subset E,\qquad \Omega\cap(-\Gamma)\subset\Omega\setminus E,\qquad |\Gamma\cap\Omega|\ge c|\Omega|.

(b) The cone Γ\Gamma can be taken to be a half-space. This is presented as a strong, dimension-independent trapping statement for the interface and is related to the Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits hyperplane conjecture.
