Abstract

We investigate the validity and the stability of various Minkowski-like inequalities for C1C^1-perturbations of the ball. Let KRnK\subseteq\mathbb R^n be a domain (possibly not convex and not mean-convex) which is C1C^1-close to a ball. We prove the sharp geometric inequality (KII1dHn1)1n2C1(n)Per(K)1n1, \left(\int_{\partial K} \lVert II\rVert_1 d\mathscr H^{n-1}\right)^{\frac1{n-2}} \ge C_1(n)Per(K)^{\frac1{n-1}} , where C1(n)C_1(n) is the constant that yields the equality when K=B1K=B_1 (and II1\lVert II\rVert_1 is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the second fundamental form IIII of K\partial K). Moreover, for any δ>0\delta>0, if KK is sufficiently C1C^1-close to a ball, we show the almost sharp Minkowski inequality (KH+dHn1)1n2(C1(n)δ)Per(K)1n1. \left(\int_{\partial K} H^+ d\mathscr H^{n-1}\right)^{\frac1{n-2}} \ge (C_1(n)-\delta)Per(K)^{\frac1{n-1}} . If KK is axially symmetric, we prove the Minkowski inequality with the sharp constant (i.e., δ=0\delta=0). We establish also the sharp quantitative stability (in the family of C1C^1-perturbations of the ball) of the volumetric Minkowski inequality (KH+dHn1)1n2C2(n)K1n, \left(\int_{\partial K} H^+ d\mathscr H^{n-1}\right)^{\frac1{n-2}} \ge C_2(n)|K|^{\frac1n} , where C2(n)C_2(n) is the constant that yields the equality when K=B1K=B_1. Finally, we show, by constructing a counterexample, that the mentioned inequalities are false (even for domains C1C^1-close to the ball) if one replaces H+H^+ with HH.
