Abstract

In this paper, we study a symmetrization that preserves the mixed volume of the sublevel sets of a convex function, under which, a P\'olya-Szeg\H o type inequality holds. We refine this symmetrization to obtain a quantitative improvement of the P\'olya-Szeg\H o inequality for the kk-Hessian integral, and, with similar arguments, we show a quantitative inequality for the comparison proved by Tso \cite{tso} for solutions to the kk-Hessian equation. As an application of the first result, we prove a quantitative version of the Faber-Krahn and Saint-Venant inequalities for these equations.
