Topic:
If an N-dimensional regular crosspolytope is projected to a uniform
random d-dimensional subspace and N is large, then the projection has
strong neighborliness properties, with high probability. Strong results
in this direction were recently obtained by David Donoho. I plan to
explain the geometric background (without analytic details).
