We consider a general way to obtain Pr\'ekopa-Leindler and Borell-Brascamp-Lieb type inequalities from Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities and provide numerous examples. We use the same heuristic to prove a discrete version of the…

Describing the equality conditions of the Alexandrov--Fenchel inequality has been a major open problem for decades. We prove that in the case of convex polytopes, this description is not in the polynomial hierarchy unless the polynomial…

We prove a version of the Aleksandrov-Fenchel inequality for mixed volumes of coconvex bodies. This version is motivated by an inequality from commutative algebra relating intersection multiplicities of ideals.

The Brascamp-Lieb inequalities are a generalization of the H\"older, Loomis-Whitney, Young, and Finner inequalities that have found many applications in harmonic analysis and elsewhere. In this paper we introduce an "adjoint" version of…

The Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality, a far-reaching generalization of the classical isoperimetric inequality to arbitrary mixed volumes, lies at the heart of convex geometry. The characterization of its extremal bodies is a long-standing open…

We derive a number of sharp upper bounds for the deficit in the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality using a weighted Minkowski integral formula and an integral formula for the deficit in Jensen's inequality. Our estimates yield results under…

The Alesker product turns the space of smooth translation-invariant valuations on convex bodies into a commutative associative unital algebra, satisfying Poincar\'e duality and the hard Lefschetz theorem. In this article, a version of the…

We prove a global nonlinear Brascamp-Lieb inequality for a general class of maps, encompassing polynomial and rational maps, as a consequence of the multilinear Kakeya-type inequalities of Zhang and Zorin-Kranich. We incorporate a natural…

The H\"older-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities are a collection of multilinear inequalities generalizing a convolution inequality of Young and the Loomis-Whitney inequalities. The full range of exponents was classified in Bennett et al. (2008). In…

At the heart of convex geometry lies the observation that the volume of convex bodies behaves as a polynomial. Many geometric inequalities may be expressed in terms of the coefficients of this polynomial, called mixed volumes. Among the…
