Small ball probability and Dvoretzky theorem

Abstract

Large deviation estimates are by now a standard tool inthe Asymptotic Convex Geometry, contrary to small deviationresults. In this note we present a novel application of a smalldeviations inequality to a problem related to the diameters of random sections of high dimensional convex bodies. Our results imply an unexpected distinction between the lower and the upper inclusions in Dvoretzky Theorem
