This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $242,441 supports analytic and probabilistic methods research in geometric functional analysis at Carnegie Mellon University from June 2023 through May 2026. The award aims to advance understanding of existing methods and develop new approaches heavily involving probabilistic and analytic ideas to quantitatively study geometric properties of infinite dimensional linear spaces through their finite dimensional subspaces. Key research questions to be addressed include deriving sharp bounds on Gaussian measures of dilates of symmetric convex sets, obtaining volumetric bounds on sections of convex bodies, and assessing quantitative aspects of concentration with applications to convex geometry and geometry of numbers. The focus is on novel methods like the Fourier approach to geometric tomography blended with reverse Holder inequalities for negative moments as well as applications of entropy to quantify concentration. This award furthers the goals of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program under the CFDA 47.049 to strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise through increasing fundamental scientific knowledge and understanding of major national challenges.
