Abstract

Let V be an origin-symmetric convex body in $ℝ^n$, n≥ 2, of Gaussian measure $γ_n(V)≥ 1/2$. It is proved that for every choice $u_1,...,u_n$ of vectors in the Euclidean unit ball $B_n$, there exist signs $ε_j ∈ {-1,1}$ with $ε_{1}u_{1} + ... + ε_{n}u_{n} ∈ (clogn)V$. The method used can be modified to give simple proofs of several related results of J. Spencer and E. D. Gluskin.
