Geometry of Isotropic Convex Bodies

The study of high-dimensional convex bodies from a geometric and
analytic point of view, with an emphasis on the dependence of various
parameters on the dimension stands at the intersection of classical
convex geometry and the local theory of Banach spaces. It is also
closely linked to many other fields, such as probability theory,
partial differential equations, Riemannian geometry, harmonic analysis
and combinatorics. It is now understood that the convexity assumption
forces most of the volume of a high-dimensional convex body to be
concentrated in some canonical way and the main question is whether,
under some natural normalization, the answer to many fundamental
questions should be independent of the dimension.
The aim of this book is to introduce a number of well-known
questions regarding the distribution of volume in high-dimensional
convex bodies, which are exactly of this nature: among them are the
slicing problem, the thin shell conjecture and the
Kannan-Lovász-Simonovits conjecture. This book provides a
self-contained and up to date account of the progress that has been
made in the last fifteen years.
