An asymptotically sharp form of Ball's inequality by probability methods
Abstract: To prove by probabilistic methods that every $(n-1)$-dimensional section of the unit cube in $Rn$ has volume at most $\sqrt 2$, K. Ball made essential use of the inequality $$ \frac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\infty}{\infty} \left(\frac{\sin2 t}{t2}\right)pdt\leq \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt p}, \quad p\geq 1, $$ in which equality holds if and only if $p=1$. The right side of above inequality has the correct rate of decay though the limit of the ratio of the right to left side is ${\sqrt{\frac{3}{\pi}}}$ rather then $\sqrt 2$. Applying Ball's methods we put all of this into the improved form of the Ball's inequality.
