Title:  A simple proof of Paouris' inequality

Abstract:   We present a simple proof of Paouris' large deviation inequality, which was recently found by Adamczak, Latala, Litvak, Oleszkiewicz, Pajor, and Tomczak-Jaegermann. The inequality of Paouris, which states that most of the volume of a convex body is contained within its inertia ellipsoid, became recently one of the major tools of convex geometry.
