The concentration of measure phenomenon in Gauss' space states that every L-Lipschitz map f on R n satisfies2L 2 , t > 0, where γn is the standard Gaussian measure on R n and M f is a median of f . In this work, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for when this inequality can be reversed, up to universal constants, in the case when f is additionally assumed to be convex. In particular, we show that if the variance Var(f ) (with respect to γn) satisfies αL Var(f ) for some 0 < α 1, thenwhere c, C > 0 are constants depending only on α.
