On unit balls and isoperimetrices in normed spaces

Horst Martini, Zokhrab Mustafaev (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The purpose of this paper is to continue the investigations on the homothety of unit balls and isoperimetrices in higher-dimensional Minkowski spaces for the Holmes-Thompson measure and the Busemann measure. Moreover, we show a strong relation between affine isoperimetric inequalities and Minkowski geometry by proving some new related inequalities.

On Weak Tail Domination of Random Vectors

Rafał Latała (2009)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Motivated by a question of Krzysztof Oleszkiewicz we study a notion of weak tail domination of random vectors. We show that if the dominating random variable is sufficiently regular then weak tail domination implies strong tail domination. In particular, a positive answer to Oleszkiewicz's question would follow from the so-called Bernoulli conjecture. We also prove that any unconditional logarithmically concave distribution is strongly dominated by a product symmetric exponential measure.

Poincaré Inequalities and Moment Maps

Bo’az Klartag (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We discuss a method for obtaining Poincaré-type inequalities on arbitrary convex bodies in n . Our technique involves a dual version of Bochner’s formula and a certain moment map, and it also applies to some non-convex sets. In particular, we generalize the central limit theorem for convex bodies to a class of non-convex domains, including the unit balls of p -spaces in n for 0 < p < 1 .

Radial Minkowski additive operators

Lewen Ji (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We give some characterizations for radial Minkowski additive operators and prove a new characterization of balls. Finally, we show the property of radial Minkowski homomorphism.

Shift inequalities of Gaussian type and norms of barycentres

F. Barthe, D. Cordero-Erausquin, M. Fradelizi (2001)

Studia Mathematica

We derive the equivalence of different forms of Gaussian type shift inequalities. This completes previous results by Bobkov. Our argument strongly relies on the Gaussian model for which we give a geometric approach in terms of norms of barycentres. Similar inequalities hold in the discrete setting; they improve the known results on the so-called isodiametral problem for the discrete cube. The study of norms of barycentres for subsets of convex bodies completes the exposition.
