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…

Let $\mu_p$ be the generalized Gaussian distribution on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with density $e^{-\frac{|x|^p}{p}}$ multiplied by a constant depending on $p\ge 1$ and $n$, and $\alpha_p(n)$ be the largest number such that the Brunn-Minkowski type…

The first goal of this paper is to improve some of the results in \cite{BCPR}. Namely, we establish the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkwoski inequality for intrinsic volumes for origin-symmetric convex bodies that are close to the ball in the $C^2$ sense…

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…

We prove the validity of the $p$-Brunn-Minkowski inequality for the intrinsic volume $V_k$, $k=2,\dots, n-1$, of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$, in a neighborhood of the unit ball, for $0\le p<1$. We also prove that this inequality does…
