Abstract

In this paper we address the following question: given a measure μ\mu on Rn\mathbb{R}^n, does there exists a constant C>0C>0 such that, for any mm-dimensional subspace HRnH \subset \mathbb{R}^n and any convex body KRnK \subset \mathbb{R}^n, the following sectional Rogers-Shephard type inequality holds: μ((KK)H)CsupyRnμ(K(H+y))? \mu((K-K) \cap H) \leq C \sup_{y \in \mathbb{R}^n} \mu(K \cap (H+y))? We show that this inequality is affirmative in the class of measures with radially decreasing densities with the constant C(n,m)=(n+mm)C(n,m) = \binom{n+m}{m}. We also prove marginal inequalities of the Rogers-Shephard type for (1s)\left(\frac{1}{s}\right)-concave, 0s<0 \leq s < \infty, and logarithmically concave functions.
