Isoperimetric inequalities for independent variables

Dr Franck Barthe
(Institut de Mathematiques Laboratoire de Statistique et Probabilites, Toulouse, France)
Abstract

We shall review recent progress in the understanding of

isoperimetric inequalities for product probability measures (a very tight

description of the concentration of measure phenomeonon). Several extensions

of the classical result for the Gaussian measure were recently derived by

functional analytic methods.
