We discuss isoperimetric inequalities for convex sets. These include the classical isoperimetric inequality and that of Brunn-Minkowski, Blaschke-Santalo, Busemann-Petty and their various extensions. We show that many such inequalities…

The $L^p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory for $p\geq 1$, proposed by Firey and developed by Lutwak in the 90's, replaces the Minkowski addition of convex sets by its $L^p$ counterpart, in which the support functions are added in $L^p$-norm.…

We study several of the recent conjectures in regards to the role of symmetry in the inequalities of Brunn-Minkowski type, such as the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture of B\"or\"oczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang, and the Dimensional…

We develop in this paper an amelioration of the method given by S. Bobkov and M. Ledoux in GAFA (2000). We prove by Prekopa-Leindler Theorem an optimal modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality adapted for all log-concave measure on $\dR^n$.…

In this paper, we prove a Pr\'ekopa-Leindler type inequality of the $L_p$ Brunn-Minkowski inequality. It extends an inequality proved by Das Gupta [8] and Klartag [16], and thus recovers the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality. In addition, we…

By differentiating a concavity principle arising from the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, we obtain a statement simultaneously strengthening the weighted boundary Poincar\'e inequality and the Brascamp-Lieb variance inequality. The resulting…
