An isoperimetric inequality on the $\ell_p$ balls

Abstract

The normalised volume measure on the $\ell_p^n$ unit ball ($1\leq p\leq 2$) satisfies the following isoperimetric inequality: the boundary measure of a set of measure $a$ is at least $cn^{1/p}\tilde{a}\log^{1-1/p}(1/\tilde{a})$, where $\tilde{a}=\min(a,1-a)$.
