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…

We prove that there is a unique $p_0\in [0,1)$, which can be characterized by the eigenvalue of Hilbert operator related to a convex body, that the even $L^p$ Minkowski problem has a unique solution for $p\geq p_0$, and the uniqueness fails…
