We survey some interplays between spectral estimates of H\"ormander-type, degenerate Monge-Amp\`ere equations and geometric inequalities related to log-concavity such as Brunn-Minkowski, Santal\'o or Busemann inequalities.
The theory of coconvex bodies was formalized by A.~Khovanski{\u\i} and V.~Timorin in \cite{KT}. It has fascinating relations with the classical theory of convex bodies, as well as applications to Lorentzian geometry. In a recent preprint…
In this paper it is introduced and studied an alternative theory of gravitation in flat Minkowski space. Using an antisymmetric tensor, which is analogous to the tensor of electromagnetic field, a non-linear connection is introduced. It is…
We review several inequalities concerning Gaussian measures - isoperimetric inequality, Ehrhard's inequality, Bobkov's inequality, S-inequality and correlation conjecture.
We prove a refinement of the inequality by Hoffmann-Jorgensen that is significant for three reasons. First, our result improves on the state-of-the-art even for real-valued random variables. Second, the result unifies several versions in…
A generalization of Young's inequality for convolution with sharp constant is conjectured for scenarios where more than two functions are being convolved, and it is proven for certain parameter ranges. The conjecture would provide a unified…
In this article, a proof of the interpolation inequality along geodesics in $p$-Wasserstein spaces is given. This interpolation inequality was the main ingredient to prove the Borel-Brascamp-Lieb inequality for general Riemannian and…
We give the structure of discrete two-dimensional finite sets $A,\,B\subseteq \R^2$ which are extremal for the recently obtained inequality $|A+B|\ge (\frac{|A|}{m}+\frac{|B|}{n}-1)(m+n-1)$, where $m$ and $n$ are the minimum number of…
The inequality of Berwald is a reverse-H\"older like inequality for the $p$th average, $p\in (-1,\infty),$ of a non-negative, concave function over a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n.$ We prove Berwald's inequality for averages of functions…
In this paper we describe the Euler semigroup $\{e^{-t\mathbb{E}^{*}\mathbb{E}}\}_{t>0}$ on homogeneous Lie groups, which allows us to obtain various types of the Hardy-Sobolev and Gagliardo-Nirenberg type inequalities for the Euler…
We address an old open question in convex geometry that dates back to the work of Minkowski: what are the equality cases of the monotonicity of mixed volumes? The problem is equivalent to that of providing a geometric characterization of…
We prove a Brunn-Minkowski type inequality for the first (nontrivial) Dirichlet eigenvalue of the weighted $p$-operator \[ -\Delta_{p,\gamma}u=-\text{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u)+(x,\nabla u)|\nabla u|^{p-2}, \] where $p>1$, in the class…
By studying $L^p$-combinations of strongly isomorphic polytopes, we prove the equivalence of the $L^p$-Brunn-Minkowski inequality conjectured by B\"or\"oczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang to the local version of the inequality studied by…
We prove the local logarithmic Brunn-Minkowski inequality for bodies of revolution. Furthermore, we give a generalization for one origin symmetric body of revolution and one body of revolution that does not need to be symmetric and restrict…
The article builds on several recent advances in the Monge-Kantorovich theory of mass transport which have -- among other things -- led to new and quite natural proofs for a wide range of geometric inequalities such as the ones formulated…
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…
We give a simple alternative proof of Royen's Gaussian Correlation inequality by using (a slightly generalized version of) Nakamura-Tsuji's symmetric inverse Brascamp-Lieb inequality for even log-concave functions. We explain that this…
Exact procedures that follow Dirac's constraint quantization of gauge theories are usually technically involved and often difficult to implement in practice. We overview an "effective" scheme for obtaining the leading order semiclassical…
In this exposition of the equality and inequality of Minkowski for multiplicity of ideals, we provide simple algebraic and geometric proofs. Connections with mixed multiplicities of ideals are explained.
We use Brascamp-Lieb's inequality to obtain new decoupling inequalities for general Gaussian vectors, and for stationary cyclic Gaussian processes. In the second case, we use a version by Bump and Diaconis of the strong Szego limit theorem.…
