Résumé

In this article, we generalize a localization theorem of Lovasz and Simonovits [Random walks in a convex body and an improved volume algorithm, Random Struct. Algorithms 4-4 (1993) 359-412] which is an important tool to prove dimension-free functional inequalities for log-concave measures. In a previous paper [Fradelizi and Guedon, The extreme points of subsets of s-concave probabilities and a geometric localization theorem, Discrete Comput. Geom. 31 (2004) 327-335], we proved that the localization may be deduced from a suitable application of Krein-Milman's theorem to a subset of log-concave probabilities satisfying one linear constraint and from the determination of the extreme points of its convex hull. Here, we generalize this result to more constraints, give some necessary conditions satisfied by such extreme points and explain how it may be understood as a generalized localization theorem. Finally, using this new localization theorem, we solve an open question on the comparison of the volume of sections of non-symmetric convex bodies in R-n by hyperplanes. A surprising feature of the result is that the extremal case in this geometric inequality is reached by an unusual convex set that we manage to identify. (C) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
