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…

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 entropy power inequality, which plays a fundamental role in information theory and probability, may be seen as an analogue of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. Motivated by this connection to Convex Geometry, we survey various recent…

The Brunn-Minkowski and Pr\'{e}kopa-Leindler inequalities admit a variety of proofs that are inspired by convexity. Nevertheless, the former holds for compact sets and the latter for integrable functions so it seems that convexity has no…

The Brunn-Minkowski theory in convex geometry concerns, among other things, the volumes, mixed volumes, and surface area measures of convex bodies. We study generalizations of these concepts to Borel measures with density in…

We associate convex regions in R^n to m-primary graded sequences of subspaces, in particular m-primary graded sequences of ideals, in a large class of local algebras (including analytically irreducible local domains). These convex regions…

We investigate what we term "generalized sup-convolutions". We show that functional inequalities that enjoy an interpretation as sup-convolution inequalities can be deduced from the special case of indicator functions corresponding to a…

In the framework of shape constrained estimation, we review methods and works done in convex set estimation. These methods mostly build on stochastic and convex geometry, empirical process theory, functional analysis, linear programming,…

This paper concerns models and convergence principles for dealing with stochasticity in a wide range of algorithms arising in nonlinear analysis and optimization in Hilbert spaces. It proposes a flexible geometric framework within which…

In contemporary convex geometry, the rapidly developing L_p-Brunn Minkowski theory is a modern analogue of the classical Brunn Minkowski theory. A cornerstone of this theory is the L_p-affine surface area for convex bodies. Here, we…

We consider the isoperimetric inequality on the class of high-dimensional isotropic convex bodies. We establish quantitative connections between two well-known open problems related to this inequality, namely, the thin shell conjecture, and…

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…

We provide nonlinear generalizations of a class of stochastic Gronwall inequalities that have been studied by von Renesse and Scheutzow (2010), Scheutzow (2013), Xie and Zhang (2020) and Mehri and Scheutzow (2021). This class of stochastic…
