We show that analytic analogs of Brunn-Minkowski-type inequalities fail for functional intrinsic volumes on convex functions. This is demonstrated both through counterexamples and by connecting the problem to results of Colesanti, Hug, and…

By using optimal mass transportation and a quantitative H\"older inequality, we provide estimates for the Borell-Brascamp-Lieb deficit on complete Riemannian manifolds. Accordingly, equality cases in Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities…

We investigate Brunn-Minkowski-type inequalities for the torsional rigidity $T_\gamma$ and the first eigenvalue $\lambda_\gamma$ associated with the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. Counterexamples are provided showing that neither concavity…

Bi-log-concavity of probability measures is a univariate extension of the notion of log-concavity that has been recently proposed in a statistical literature. Among other things, it has the nice property from a modelisation perspective to…

We provide extensions of geometric inequalities about sections and projections of convex bodies to the setting of integrable log-concave functions. Namely, we consider suitable generalizations of the affine and dual affine quermassintegrals…

The Minkowski tensors are valuations on the space of convex bodies in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with values in a space of symmetric tensors, having additional covariance and continuity properties. They are extensions of the intrinsic volumes, and as…

We establish a weighted inequality for fractional maximal and convolution type operators, between weak Lebesgue spaces and Wiener amalgam type spaces on $ \mathbb R $ endowed with a measure which needs not to be doubling.

The present note is a result of an on-going investigation into the logarithmic Brunn-Minkowski inequality. We obtain lower estimates on the volume product for convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ not necessarily symmetric with respect to the…

Firstly, we propose our conjectured Reverse-log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality (RLBM). Secondly, we show that the (RLBM) conjecture is equivalent to the log-Brunn-Minkowski (LBM) conjecture proposed by B\"or\"oczky-Lutwak-Yang-Zhang. We name…

We investigate the weighted $L_p$ affine surface areas which appear in the recently established $L_p$ Steiner formula of the $L_p$ Brunn Minkowski theory. We show that they are valuations on the set of convex bodies and prove isoperimetric…
