The anti-concentration conjecture for symmetric log-concave measures
Let . Let be the hyperoctahedral group acting on by coordinate permutations and sign changes. A measure on is isotropic if it has mean zero and identity covariance matrix, and -invariant if it is invariant under this group. For a degree- homogeneous polynomial , write for its squared -norm. The conjecture asserts that there is a constant , depending only on , such that for every isotropic, log-concave, -invariant measure on and every degree- homogeneous polynomial ,
Consequently, for odd , since homogeneous functions of odd degree are odd, one has . This would extend the known degree-three result and clarify the absence of bad examples for higher-degree symmetric measures, while the general case remains open.
