Abstract: | Suppose X = (X 1, . . . , X n ) is a random vector, distributed uniformly in a convex body ${K \subset \mathbb R^n}$ . We assume the normalization ${\mathbb E X_i^2 = 1}$ for i = 1, . . . , n. The body K is further required to be invariant under coordinate reflections, that is, we assume that (±X 1, . . . , ±X n ) has the same distribution as (X 1, . . . , X n ) for any choice of signs. Then, we show that $$ \mathbb E \left( \, |X| - \sqrt{n} \, \right)^2 \leq C^2,$$ where C ≤ 4 is a positive universal constant, and | · | is the standard Euclidean norm in ${\mathbb R^n}$ . The estimate is tight, up to the value of the constant. It leads to a Berry-Esseen type bound in the central limit theorem for unconditional convex bodies. |
