We show that for any log-concave measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$, any pair of symmetric convex sets $K$ and $L$, and any $\lambda\in [0,1],$ $$\mu((1-\lambda) K+\lambda L)^{c_n}\geq (1-\lambda) \mu(K)^{c_n}+\lambda\mu(L)^{c_n},$$ where…

This paper establishes two new geometric inequalities in the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory. The first, originally conjectured by Lutwak, is the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for dual quermassintegrals of origin-symmetric convex bodies. The…

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…

We prove that the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality \begin{equation*} |\lambda K+_0 (1-\lambda)L|\geq |K|^{\lambda}|L|^{1-\lambda} \end{equation*} (where $|\cdot|$ is the Lebesgue measure and $+_0$ is the so-called log-addition) holds when…

New Orlicz Brunn-Minkowski inequalities are established for rigid motion compatible Minkowski valuations of arbitrary degree. These extend classical log-concavity properties of intrinsic volumes and generalize seminal results of Lutwak and…

We consider a functional $\mathcal F$ on the space of convex bodies in $\R^n$ defined as follows: ${\mathcal F}(K)$ is the integral over the unit sphere of a fixed continuous functions $f$ with respect to the area measure of the convex body…

We prove that an approximated version of the Brunn--Minkowski inequality with volume distortion coefficient implies a Gaussian concentration-of-measure phenomenon. Our main theorem is applicable to discrete spaces.

B\"or\"oczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang recently proved the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality which is stronger than the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality for two origin-symmetric convex bodies in the plane. This paper establishes the…

In this note, we study B{\'e}zout type inequalities for mixed volume and Minkowski sum of convex bodies in R n. We first give a new proof and we extend inequalities of Jian Xiao on mixed discriminants. Then, we use mass transport method to…

We provide a sharp quantitative version of the Gaussian concentration inequality: for every $r>0$, the difference between the measure of the $r$-enlargement of a given set and the $r$-enlargement of a half-space controls the square of the…

The $L^p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory for $p\geq 1$, proposed by Firey and developed by Lutwak in the 90's, replaces the Minkowski addition of convex sets by its $L^p$ counterpart, in which the support functions are added in $L^p$-norm.…
