Abstract

We prove a sharp stability result concerning how close homothetic sets attaining near-equality in the Brunn-Minkowski inequality are to being convex. In particular, resolving a conjecture of Figalli and Jerison, we show there are universal constants Cn,dn>0C_n,d_n>0 such that for ARnA \subset \mathbb{R}^n of positive measure, if A+A2AdnA|\frac{A+A}{2}\setminus A| \le d_n |A|, then co(A)ACnA+A2A|\operatorname{co}(A)\setminus A| \le C_n |\frac{A+A}{2}\setminus A| for co(A)\operatorname{co}(A) the convex hull of AA.
