Abstract

The classical Petty projection inequality is an affine isoperimetric inequality which constitutes a cornerstone in the affine geometry of convex bodies. By extending the polar projection body to an inter-dimensional operator, Petty's inequality was generalized to the so-called (Lp,Q)(L_p,Q) setting, where QQ is an mm-dimensional compact convex set. In this work, we further extend the (Lp,Q)(L_p,Q) Petty projection inequality to the broader realm of rotationally invariant measures with concavity properties, namely, those with γ\gamma-concave density (for γ1/nm\gamma\geq-1/nm). Moreover, when p=1p=1, and motivated by a contemporary empirical reinterpretation of Petty's result, we explore empirical analogues of this inequality.
