This paper contains two results concerning linear embeddings of subsets of Euclidean space in low-dimensional normed spaces. The first is an improvement of the known dependence on
in Dvoretzky's theorem from order of
2 to order of
(except for
log factors). The second is a joint generalization of (Milman's version of) Dvoretzky's theorem and (a recent generalization by Klartag and Mendelson of) the
Johnson–
Lindenstrauss Lemma.
