The concentration of Lipschitz functions around their expectation is a classical topic that continues to be very active. We will discuss some recent progress, including: 1- A tight log-Sobolev inequality for isotropic logconcave densities 2- A unified and improved large deviation inequality for convex bodies 3- An extension of the above to Lipschitz functions (generalizing the Euclidean...
