In a recent paper A. Cianchi, N. Fusco, F. Maggi, and A. Pratelli have shown that, in the Gauss space, a set of given measure and almost minimal Gauss boundary measure is necessarily close to be a half-space. Using only geometric tools, we…

In the first part we study deviation of a polynomial from its mathematical expectation. This deviation can be estimated from above by Carbery--Wright inequality, so we investigate estimates of the deviation from below. We obtain such…

We prove the existence of almost isoperimetric extremisers for two classes of probability measures defined respectively on the Grushin space and a stratified Lie group. It turns out such extremisers can be regarded as a type of anisotropic…
