In 2012, Nazarov used Bergman kernels and Hörmander's L 2 estimates for the ∂equation to give a new proof of the Bourgain-Milman theorem for symmetric convex bodies and made some suggestions on how his proof should extend to general convex bodies. This article achieves this extension and serves simultaneously as an exposition to Nazarov's work.A key new ingredient is an affine invariant associated to the Bergman kernel of a tube domain. This gives the first 'complex' proof of the Bourgain-Milman theorem for general convex bodies, specifically, without using symmetrization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
