The sharp doubling threshold for approximate convexity

Metric Geometry 2023-04-04 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We show for A,BRdA,B\subset\mathbb{R}^d of equal volume and t(0,1/2]t\in (0,1/2] that if tA+(1t)B<(1+td)A|tA+(1-t)B|< (1+t^d)|A|, then (up to translation) co(AB)/A|\text{co}(A\cup B)|/|A| is bounded. This establishes the sharp threshold for Figalli and Jerison's quantative stability of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. We additionally establish a similar sharp threshold for iterated sumsets.
