Abstract

In this second chapter the main examples known to satisfy the KLS conjecture, the square negative correlation property or the variance conjecture are provided. We also show Klartag’s results on unconditional convex bodies, which show that, up to a logarithmic factor, they verify the KLS conjecture and they verify the variance conjecture.
