Abstract

The Paouris inequality gives the large deviation estimate for Euclidean norms of log-concave vectors. We present a modified version of it and show how the new inequality may be applied to derive tail estimates of l r -norms and suprema of norms of coordinate projections of isotropic log-concave vectors.
