Abstract

We prove that there exists an absolute constant C so that
$$\displaystyle{ \mu (K)\ \leq \ C\sqrt{p}\max _{\xi \in S^{n-1}}\mu (K \cap \xi ^{\perp })\ \vert K\vert ^{1/n} }$$
for any p > 2, any \(n \in \mathbb{N},\) any convex body K that is the unit ball of an n-dimensional subspace of L p , and any measure μ with non-negative even continuous density in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}.\) Here ξ  ⊥  is the central hyperplane perpendicular to a unit vector ξ ∈ S n−1, and | K | stands for volume.
