A geometric inequality and a low $$M$$-estimate. (English) Zbl 1064.52003
Author’s abstract: We present an integral inequality connecting volumes and diameters of sections of a convex body. We apply this inequality to obtain some new inequalities concerning diameters of sections of convex bodies, among which is our “low $$M$$-estimate”. Also, we give novel, alternative proofs to some known results, such as the fact that a finite volume ratio body has proportional sections that are isomorphic to a Euclidean ball.
