Isoperimetry for spherically symmetric log-concave probability measures

Probability 2009-02-27 v2

Abstract

We prove an isoperimetric inequality for probability measures μ\mu on Rn\mathbb{R}^n with density proportional to exp(ϕ(λx))\exp(-\phi(\lambda | x|)), where x|x| is the euclidean norm on Rn\mathbb{R}^n and ϕ\phi is a non-decreasing convex function. It applies in particular when ϕ(x)=xα\phi(x)=x^\alpha with α1\alpha\ge1. Under mild assumptions on ϕ\phi, the inequality is dimension-free if λ\lambda is chosen such that the covariance of μ\mu is the identity.
