A sharpened Riesz-Sobolev inequality

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2017-06-08 v1

Abstract

The Riesz-Sobolev inequality provides an upper bound, in integral form, for the convolution of indicator functions of subsets of Euclidean space. We formulate and prove a sharper form of the inequality. This can be equivalently phrased as a stability result, quantifying an inverse theorem of Burchard that characterizes cases of equality.
