To any n-dimensional random vector X we may associate its Lp-centroid body Ƶp (X) and the corresponding norm. We formulate a conjecture concerning the bound on the Ƶp (X)-norm of X and show that it holds under some additional symmetry assumptions. We also relate our conjecture to estimates of covering numbers and Sudakov-type minoration bounds.
