Abstract

We study the maximal perimeter constant of isotropic log-concave probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$. For a measure $μ$, this quantity, denoted by $Γ(μ)$, is defined as the supremum of the $μ$-perimeter over all convex bodies and measures the largest possible boundary contribution of convex sets with respect to $μ$. Let $$Γ_n := \sup\{Γ(μ) : μ\text{ is an isotropic log-concave probability measure on } \mathbb{R}^n\}.$$ We prove that $Γ_n \leqslant Cn^{3/2}$, where $C>0$ is an absolute constant. This result improves the previously known $O(n^2)$ upper bound. Under additional structural assumptions, we obtain sharp linear bounds of order $O(n)$.
