A note on a Brunn-Minkowski inequality for the Gaussian measure

The Brunn-Minkowski-Type Inequality

The Brunn-Minkowski Inequality

In 1978, Osserman [124] wrote an extensive survey on the isoperimetric inequality. The Brunn-Minkowski inequality can be proved in a page, yet quickly yields the classical isoperimetric inequality for important classes of subsets of Rn, and deserves to be better known. This guide explains the relationship between the Brunn-Minkowski inequality and other inequalities in geometry and analysis, an...

Brunn - Minkowski Inequality

– We present a one-dimensional version of the functional form of the geometric Brunn-Minkowski inequality in free (noncommutative) probability theory. The proof relies on matrix approximation as used recently by P. Biane and F. Hiai, D. Petz and Y. Ueda to establish free analogues of the logarithmic Sobolev and transportation cost inequalities for strictly convex potentials, that are recovered ...

The Log-brunn-minkowski Inequality

For origin-symmetric convex bodies (i.e., the unit balls of finite dimensional Banach spaces) it is conjectured that there exist a family of inequalities each of which is stronger than the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality and a family of inequalities each of which is stronger than the classical Minkowski mixed-volume inequality. It is shown that these two families of inequalities are “equiv...

Gaussian Brunn-minkowski Inequalities

A detailed investigation is undertaken into Brunn-Minkowski-type inequalities for Gauss measure. A Gaussian dual Brunn-Minkowski inequality, the first of its type, is proved, together with precise equality conditions, and is shown to be the best possible from several points of view. A new Gaussian Brunn-Minkowski inequality is proposed and proved to be true in some significant special cases. Th...
