Abstract

Our purpose is to prove a particular case of a conjecture concerning the Gaussian measure of the intersection of two symmetric convex sets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. This conjecture states that the measure of the intersection is greater or equal to the product of the measures. In this paper, we prove the inequality when one of the two convex sets is a symmetric ellipsoid and the other one is simply symmetric. The general case is still open.
