Abstract

Let KK be a smooth, origin-symmetric, strictly convex body in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. If for some GL(n,R)\ell\in GL(n,\mathbb{R}), the anisotropic Riemannian metric 12D2K2\frac{1}{2}D^2 \Vert\cdot\Vert_{\ell K}^2, encapsulating the curvature of K\ell K, is comparable to the standard Euclidean metric of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} up-to a factor of γ>1\gamma > 1, we show that KK satisfies the even LpL^p-Minkowski inequality and uniqueness in the even LpL^p-Minkowski problem for all ppγ:=1n+1γp \geq p_\gamma := 1 - \frac{n+1}{\gamma}. This result is sharp as γ1\gamma \searrow 1 (characterizing centered ellipsoids in the limit) and improves upon the classical Minkowski inequality for all γ<\gamma < \infty. In particular, whenever γn+1\gamma \leq n+1, the even log-Minkowski inequality and uniqueness in the even log-Minkowski problem hold.
