Isoperimetric inequalities for independent variables

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.
