How to recognize convexity of a set from its marginals

Metric Geometry 2015-02-24 v1 Functional Analysis

Abstract

We investigate the regularity of the marginals onto hyperplanes for sets of finite perimeter. We prove, in particular, that if a set of finite perimeter has log-concave marginals onto a.e. hyperplane then the set is convex.
