Kolesnikov-Milman [9] established a local $L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski inequality for $p\in(1-c/n^{\frac{3}{2}},1).$ Based on their local uniqueness results for the $L_p$-Minkowski problem, we prove in this paper the (global) $L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski…

In this article we study two classical potential-theoretic problems in convex geometry corresponding to a nonlinear capacity, $\mbox{Cap}_{\mathcal{A}}$, where $\mathcal{A}$-capacity is associated with a nonlinear elliptic PDE whose…

We prove that for any semi-norm $\|\cdot\|$ on $\mathbb{R}^n,$ and any symmetric convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^n,$ \begin{equation}\label{ineq-abs2} \int_{\partial K} \frac{\|n_x\|^2}{\langle x,n_x\rangle}\leq…

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 a strong version of the Brascamp--Lieb inequality for symmetric log-concave measure with $\alpha$-homogeneous potential $V$ is equivalent to a $p$-Brunn--Minkowski inequality for level sets of $V$ with some $p(\alpha,n)<0$. We…

The classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality states that for $A_1,A_2\subset\R^n$ compact, $$ |A_1+A_2|^{1/n}\ge |A_1|^{1/n}+|A_2|^{1/n}\eqno(1) $$ where $|\cdot|$ denotes the Lebesgue measure on $\R^n$. In 1986 V. Milman {\bf [Mil 1]}…

We prove a refinement of the inequality by Hoffmann-Jorgensen that is significant for three reasons. First, our result improves on the state-of-the-art even for real-valued random variables. Second, the result unifies several versions in…

The Lp-Brunn-Minkowski inequality palys a central role in the Brunn-Minkowski theory proposed by Firey [13] in 60's and developed by Lutwak [26,27] in 90's, which generalizes the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality by Lp-sum of convex…

We prove that the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality \begin{equation*} |\lambda K+_0 (1-\lambda)L|\geq |K|^{\lambda}|L|^{1-\lambda} \end{equation*} (where $|\cdot|$ is the Lebesgue measure and $+_0$ is the so-called log-addition) holds when…

As we all know, the Minkowski type problem is the cornerstone of the Brunn-Minkowski theory in Euclidean space. The Heisenberg group as a sub-Riemannian space is the simplest non-Abelian degenerate Riemannian space that is completely…

Log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality was conjectured by Bor\"oczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang \cite{BLYZ}, and it states that a certain strengthening of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality is admissible in the case of symmetric convex sets. It…

Suppose $G$ is a connected noncompact locally compact group, $A,B$ are nonempty and compact subsets of $G$, $\mu$ is a left Haar measure on $G$. Assuming that $G$ is unimodular, and $ \mu(A^2) < K \mu(A) $ with $K>1$ a fixed constant, our…
