On the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for general measures with applications to new isoperimetric-type inequalities

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we present new versions of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality for different classes of measures and sets. We show that the inequality μ(λA+(1−λ)B)1/n≥λμ(A)1/n+(1−λ)μ(B)1/n μ(λA + (1-λ)B)^{1/n} \geq λμ(A)^{1/n} + (1-λ)μ(B)^{1/n} holds true for an unconditional product measure μμ with decreasing density and a pair of unconditional convex bodies A,B⊂RnA,B \subset \mathbb{R}^n. We also show that the above inequality is true for any unconditional log⁡\log-concave measure μμ and unconditional convex bodies A,B⊂RnA,B \subset \mathbb{R}^n. Finally, we prove that the inequality is true for a symmetric log⁡\log-concave measure μμ and a pair of symmetric convex sets A,B⊂R2A,B \subset \mathbb{R}^2, which, in particular, settles two-dimensional case of the conjecture for Gaussian measure proposed by R. Gardner and the fourth named author. In addition, we deduce the 1/n1/n-concavity of the parallel volume t↦μ(A+tB)t \mapsto μ(A+tB), Brunn's type theorem and certain analogues of Minkowski first inequality.
