We provide a full quantitative version of the Gaussian isoperimetric inequality. Our estimate is independent of the dimension, sharp on the decay rate with respect to the asymmetry and with optimal dependence on the mass.

The optimality of the integral inequality $\int\limits_\gamma\sqrt{k_1^2+k_2^2+k_3^2}ds>2\pi$ for closed curves with non-vanishing curvatures in $\mathbb R^4$ is discussed. We prove that an arbitrary closed curve of constant positive…
