We describe the harmonic interpolation of convex bodies, and prove a strong form of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality and characterize its equality case. As an application we improve a theorem of Berndtsson on the volume of slices of a…

In \cite{Lyon24} the question of the decidability of quasi-dense modal logics is answered, and an upper bound in $\EXPSPACE$ is given. Unfortunately, authors' intricate proof seems to contain a major flaw that cannot be fixed, leaving the…

In this paper we present new versions of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality for different classes of measures and sets. We show that the inequality \[ \mu(\lambda A + (1-\lambda)B)^{1/n} \geq \lambda \mu(A)^{1/n} +…

In a very celebrated paper A. Connes has formulated a conjecture which is now one of the most important open problem in Operator Algebras. This importance comes from the works of many mathematicians who have found some unexpected equivalent…

In this paper, we are interested in Gaussian versions of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality. We prove in a streamlined way a semigroup version of the Ehrard inequality for $m$ Borel or convex sets based on a previous work by Borell.…

We investigate what we term "generalized sup-convolutions". We show that functional inequalities that enjoy an interpretation as sup-convolution inequalities can be deduced from the special case of indicator functions corresponding to a…

We prove a new family of inequalities, which compare the integral of a geometric convolution of non-negative functions with the integrals of the original functions. For classical inf-convolution, this type of inequality is called the…

In this paper, we consider an unconventional overdetermined problem through a property of concavity, which provides some characterizations of balls via Brunn-Minkowski inequalities. In this setting, our rsults can be viewed as the…

We give an explicit counterexample to an entanglement inequality suggested in a recent paper [quant-ph/0005126] by Benatti and Narnhofer. The inequality would have had far-reaching consequences, including the additivity of the entanglement…

The aim of this note is to show that the local form of the logarithmic Brunn-Minkowski conjecture holds for zonoids. The proof uses a variant of the Bochner method due to Shenfeld and the author.

We consider a different $L^p$-Minkowski combination of compact sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$ than the one introduced by Firey and we prove an $L^p$-Brunn-Minkowski inequality, $p \in [0,1]$, for a general class of measures called convex measures…

We present proofs of the reverse Santal\'{o} inequality, the existence of M-ellipsoids and the reverse Brunn-Minkowski inequality, using purely convex geometric tools. Our approach is based on properties of the isotropic position.

We extend Prekopa's Theorem and the Brunn-Minkowski Theorem from convexity to $F$-subharmonicity. We apply this to the interpolation problem of convex functions and convex sets introducing a new notion of "harmonic interpolation" that we…
