We use Brunn-Minkowski inequalities for quermassintegrals to deduce a family of inequalities of Poincar\'e type on the unit sphere and on the boundary of smooth convex bodies in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space.

In this work, the $L_p$ version (for $p> 1$) of the dimensional Brunn-Minkowski inequality for the standard Gaussian measure $\gamma_n(\cdot)$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is shown. More precisely, we prove that for any $0$-symmetric convex sets with…

We develop a general framework to study concavity properties of weighted marginals of $\beta$-concave functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ via local methods. As a concrete implementation of our approach, we obtain a functional version of the…

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 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} +…

We show that the fundamental objects of the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory, namely the $L_p$-affine surface areas for a convex body, are closely related to information theory: they are exponentials of R\'enyi divergences of the cone measures…

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…

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…

Polarity is a fundamental reciprocal duality of $n$-dimensional projective geometry which associates to points polar hyperplanes, and more generally $k$-dimensional convex bodies to polar $(n-1-k)$-dimensional convex bodies. It is…
