For fixed functions $G,H:[0,infty)to[0,infty)$, consider the rotationally invariant probability density on $mathbb{R}^n$ of the form [ mu^n(ds) = frac{1}{Z_n} G(|s|_2), e^{ - n H( |s|_2)} ds. ] We show that when $n$ is large, the Euclidean norm $|Y^n|_2$ of a random vector $Y^n$ distributed according to $mu^n$ satisfies a Gaussian thin-shell property: the distribution of $|Y^n|_2$ concentrates around a certain value $s_0$, and the fluctuations of $|Y^n|_2$ are approximately Gaussian with the order $1/sqrt{n}$. We apply this thin shell property to the study of rotationally invariant random simplices, simplices whose vertices consist of the origin as well as independent random vectors $Y_1^n,ldots,Y_p^n$ distributed according to $mu^n$. We show that the logarithmic volume of the resulting simplex exhibits highly Gaussian behavior, providing a generalizing and unifying setting for the objects considered in Grote-Kabluchko-Thale [Limit theorems for random simplices in high dimensions, ALEA, Lat. Am. J. Probab. Math. Stat. 16, 141--177 (2019)]. Finally, by relating the volumes of random simplices to random determinants, we show that if $A^n$ is an $n times n$ random matrix whose entries are independent standard Gaussian random variables, then there are explicit constants $c_0,c_1in(0,infty)$ and an absolute constant $Cin(0,infty)$ such that [sup_{ s in mathbb{R}} left| mathbb{P} left[ frac{ log mathrm{det}(A^n) - log(n-1)! - c_0 }{ sqrt{ frac{1}{2} log n + c_1 }} < s right] - int_{-infty}^s frac{e^{ - u^2/2} du}{ sqrt{ 2 pi }} right| < frac{C}{log^{3/2}n}, ] sharpening the $1/log^{1/3 + o(1)}n$ bound in Nguyen and Vu [Random matrices: Law of the determinant, Ann. Probab. 42 (1) (2014), 146--167].

Consider the projection of an $n$-dimensional random vector onto a random $k_n$-dimensional basis, $k_n leq n$, drawn uniformly from the Haar measure on the Stiefel manifold of orthonormal $k_n$-frames in $mathbb{R}^n$, in three different asymptotic regimes as $n rightarrow infty$: constant ($k_n=k$), sublinear ($k_n rightarrow infty$ but $k_n/n rightarrow 0$) and linear $k_n/n rightarrow lambda$ with $0 < lambda le 1$). When the sequence of random vectors satisfies a certain asymptotic thin shell condition, we establish annealed large deviation principles (LDPs) for the corresponding sequence of random projections in the constant regime, and for the sequence of empirical measures of the coordinates of the random projections in the sublinear and linear regimes. We also establish LDPs for certain scaled $ell_q$ norms of the random projections in these different regimes. Moreover, we verify our assumptions for various sequences of random vectors of interest, including those distributed according to Gibbs measures with superquadratic interaction potential, or the uniform measure on suitably scaled $ell_p^n$ balls, for $p in [1,infty)$, and generalized Orlicz balls defined via a superquadratic function. Our results complement the central limit theorem for convex sets and related results which are known to hold under a thin shell condition. These results also substantially extend existing large deviation results for random projections, which are first, restricted to the setting of measures on $ell_p^n$ balls, and secondly, limited to univariate LDPs (i.e., in $mathbb{R}$) involving either the norm of a $k_n$-dimensional projection or the projection of $X^{(n)}$ onto a random one-dimensional subspace. Random projections of high-dimensional random vectors are of interest in a range of fields including asymptotic convex geometry and high-dimensional statistics.
In this paper, we study the asymptotic thin-shell width concentration for random vectors uniformly distributed in Orlicz balls. We provide both asymptotic upper and lower bounds on the probability of such a random vector $X_n$ being in a thin shell o f radius $sqrt{n}$ times the asymptotic value of $n^{-1/2}left(mathbb Eleft[| X_n|_2^2right]right)^{1/2}$ (as $ntoinfty$), showing that in certain ranges our estimates are optimal. In particular, our estimates significantly improve upon the currently best known general Lee-Vempala bound when the deviation parameter $t=t_n$ goes down to zero as the dimension $n$ of the ambient space increases. We shall also determine in this work the precise asymptotic value of the isotropic constant for Orlicz balls. Our approach is based on moderate deviation principles and a connection between the uniform distribution on Orlicz balls and Gibbs measures at certain critical inverse temperatures with potentials given by Orlicz functions, an idea recently presented by Kabluchko and Prochno in [The maximum entropy principle and volumetric properties of Orlicz balls, J. Math. Anal. Appl. {bf 495}(1) 2021, 1--19].
Let $r=r(n)$ be a sequence of integers such that $rleq n$ and let $X_1,ldots,X_{r+1}$ be independent random points distributed according to the Gaussian, the Beta or the spherical distribution on $mathbb{R}^n$. Limit theorems for the log-volume and t he volume of the random convex hull of $X_1,ldots,X_{r+1}$ are established in high dimensions, that is, as $r$ and $n$ tend to infinity simultaneously. This includes, Berry-Esseen-type central limit theorems, log-normal limit theorems, moderate and large deviations. Also different types of mod-$phi$ convergence are derived. The results heavily depend on the asymptotic growth of $r$ relative to $n$. For example, we prove that the fluctuations of the volume of the simplex are normal (respectively, log-normal) if $r=o(n)$ (respectively, $rsim alpha n$ for some $0 < alpha < 1$).
A central problem in discrete geometry, known as Hadwigers covering problem, asks what the smallest natural number $Nleft(nright)$ is such that every convex body in ${mathbb R}^{n}$ can be covered by a union of the interiors of at most $Nleft(nright) $ of its translates. Despite continuous efforts, the best general upper bound known for this number remains as it was more than sixty years ago, of the order of ${2n choose n}nln n$. In this note, we improve this bound by a sub-exponential factor. That is, we prove a bound of the order of ${2n choose n}e^{-csqrt{n}}$ for some universal constant $c>0$. Our approach combines ideas from previous work by Artstein-Avidan and the second named author with tools from Asymptotic Geometric Analysis. One of the key steps is proving a new lower bound for the maximum volume of the intersection of a convex body $K$ with a translate of $-K$; in fact, we get the same lower bound for the volume of the intersection of $K$ and $-K$ when they both have barycenter at the origin. To do so, we make use of measure concentration, and in particular of thin-shell estimates for isotropic log-concave measures. Using the same ideas, we establish an exponentially better bound for $Nleft(nright)$ when restricting our attention to convex bodies that are $psi_{2}$. By a slightly different approach, an exponential improvement is established also for classes of convex bodies with positive modulus of convexity.
In this paper, we start by showing that the intertwining relationship between two minimal Markov semigroups acting on Hilbert spaces implies that any recurrent extensions, in the sense of It^o, of these semigroups satisfy the same intertwining identi ty. Under mild additional assumptions on the intertwining operator, we prove that the converse also holds. This connection, which relies on the representation of excursion quantities as developed by Fitzsimmons and Getoor, enables us to give an interesting probabilistic interpretation of intertwining relationships between Markov semigroups via excursion theory: two such recurrent extensions that intertwine share, under an appropriate normalization, the same local time at the boundary point. Moreover, in the case when one of the (non-self-adjoint) semigroup intertwines with the one of a quasi-diffusion, we obtain an extension of Kreins theory of strings byshowing that its densely defined spectral measure is absolutely continuous with respect to the measure appearing in the Stieltjes representation of the Laplace exponent of the inverse local time. Finally, we illustrate our results with the class of positive self-similar Markov semigroups and also the reflected generalized Laguerre semigroups. For the latter, we obtain their spectral decomposition and provide, under some conditions, a perturbed spectral gap estimate for its convergence to equilibrium.
