Abstract:
We show how the projection of an n-dimensional polytope K on a k-dimensional subspace can be decomposed as the disjoint (up to measure 0 sets) union of the projection of some k-dimensional faces of K. We use this to prove that the isotropy constant of any n-dimensional polytope with N vertices is bounded by qNn.
