Abstract
Abstract We study the properties of the maximal volume k-dimensional sections of the n-dimensional cube [−1, 1]n. We obtain a first order necessary condition for a k-dimensional subspace to be a local maximizer of the volume of such sections, which we formulate in a geometric way. We estimate the length of the projection of a vector of the standard basis of ℝn onto a k-dimensional subspace that maximizes the volume of the intersection. We find the optimal upper bound on the volume of a planar section of the cube [−1, 1]n, n ≥ 2.

Geometric inequalities in metric spaces,
Geometric measure theory and variational problems in metric spaces,
Analytic and geometric problems in metric measure spaces, probability spaces, and manifolds with density,
Analytic and geometric problems in sub-riemannian manifolds, Carnot groups, and pseudo-hermitian manifolds.
Geometric control theory,
Curvature in metric and length spaces,
Geometric group theory,
Harmonic Analysis. Potential theory,
Mass transportation problems,
Quasiconformal and quasiregular mappings. Quasiconformal geometry,
PDEs associated to analytic and geometric problems in metric spaces.
