Dvoretzky's theorem states that each centered convex body of sufficiently high dimension has an "almost
spherical" -dimensional
central section.
Klartag and Moshe (2026) proved a polynomial bound in the approximation parameter. Let
be a convex body containing the origin
in its interior, with
and
. If
for a universal constant , then there are an
-dimensional linear subspace
and
such that
where
is the unit ball in
. This resolves the conjecture that the required ambient dimension has polynomial dependence on
for fixed
.
Klartag and Moshe (2026) state that the choice of probability distribution used in the proof arose from a discussion between ChatGPT and Moshe. ChatGPT was also used to inspect and improve proofs.
