\footnotesize B\"{o}r\"{o}czky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang recently conjectured a certain strengthening of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for symmetric convex bodies, the so-called log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality. We establish this inequality…

In this paper, we study the stability of Minkowski inequality for nearly spherical domains that are $C^1$ close to the ball. We show the stability inequalities between the positive part of the $\sigma_k$ curvature integrals for $C^1$…

In "Weighted Brunn-Minkowski Theory I", the prequel to this work, we discussed how recent developments on concavity of measures have laid the foundations of a nascent weighted Brunn-Minkowski theory. In particular, we defined the mixed…

The Ehrhard-Borell inequality is a far-reaching refinement of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality that captures the sharp convexity and isoperimetric properties of Gaussian measures. Unlike in the classical Brunn-Minkowski theory, the…

We construct and parametrize solutions to the constraint equations of general relativity in a neighborhood of Minkowski spacetime with arbitrary prescribed decay properties at infinity. We thus provide a large class of initial data for the…

We establish a lower bound on the total mass of the time slices of (n + 1)-dimensional asymptotically flat standard static spacetimes under the timelike convergence condition. The inequality can be viewed equivalently as a Minkowski-type…

In light of the log-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture, various attempts have been made to define the geometric mean of convex bodies. Many of these constructions are fairly complex and/or fail to satisfy some natural properties one would expect of…

The Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality is a classical extension of the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, which in turn is a functional counterpart of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. The stability of these inequalities has received significant…

We extend to Minkowski spaces the classical result of Barbosa and do Carmo [1] that characterizes the euclidean sphere as the unique compact stable CMC hypersurface of $\mathbb R^n$. More precisely, if $K$ is a smooth convex body in…

We present an alternative, short proof of a recent discrete version of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality due to Lehec and the second named author. Our proof also yields the four functions theorem of Ahlswede and Daykin as well as some new…

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…

The Brunn-Minkowski theory in convex geometry concerns, among other things, the volumes, mixed volumes, and surface area measures of convex bodies. We study generalizations of these concepts to Borel measures with density in…

We prove that equality within the Minkowski inequality for asymptotically flat static manifolds is achieved only by slices of Schwarzschild space.
