SUMMARY:Concentration of Measure in High Dimensions (Part-II)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rakesh Venkat\nTata Institute of Fundamental Research\
 nSchool of Technology and Computer Science\nHomi Bhabha Road\n\nAbstract: 
 \nLast time around we saw some interesting and non-intuitive behaviour of 
 volumes and surfaces in high dimensions. Keeping in line with this\, we wi
 ll discuss the Brun-Minkowski theorem\, and use it to prove similar concen
 tration results in various settings: surface areas on the n-dimensional ba
 ll\, the Gaussian Measure in R^n\, and the Hamming Cube C_n. If time permi
 ts\, I will mention a result on metric embeddings that relies on such a co
 ncentration of measure phenomenon.\n
