Abstract

It is well known that RN has subspaces of dimension proportional to N on which the 1 norm is equivalent to the 2 norm; however, no explicit constructions are known. Extending earlier work by Artstein--Avidan and Milman, we prove that such a subspace can be generated using O(N) random bits.
