More on logarithmic sums of convex bodies

We prove that the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality (log-BMI) for the Lebesque measure in dimension $n$ would imply the log-BMI and, therefore, the B-conjecture for any log-concave density in dimension $n$. As a consequence, we prove the log-BMI and the B-conjecture for any log-concave density, in the plane. Moreover, we prove that the log-BMI reduces to the following: For each dimension $n$, there is a density $f_n$, which satisfies an integrability assumption, so that the log-BMI holds for parallelepipeds with parallel facets, for the density $f_n$. As byproduct of our methods, we study possible log-concavity of the function $t\mapsto |(K+_p\cdot e^tL)^{\circ}|$, where $p\geq 1$ and $K$, $L$ are symmetric convex bodies, which we are able to prove in some instances and as a further application, we confirm the variance conjecture in a special class of convex bodies. Finally, we establish a non-trivial dual form of the log-BMI.

On the shape of a convex body with respect to its second projection body

We prove results relative to the problem of finding sharp bounds for the affine invariant $P(K)=V(ΠK)/V^{d-1}(K)$. Namely, we prove that if $K$ is a 3-dimensional zonoid of volume 1, then its second projection body $Π^2K$ is contained in 8K, while if $K$ is any symmetric 3-dimensional convex body of volume 1, then $Π^2K$ contains 6K. Both inclusions are sharp. Consequences of these results include a stronger version of a reverse isoperimetric inequality for 3-dimensional zonoids-established by the author in a previous work, a reduction for the 3-dimensional Petty conjecture to another isoperimetric problem and the best known lower bound up to date for $P(K)$ in 3 dimensions. As byproduct of our methods, we establish an almost optimal lower bound for high-dimensional bodies of revolution.

Remarks on the conjectured log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality

\footnotesize Böröczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang recently conjectured a certain strengthening of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for symmetric convex bodies, the so-called log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality. We establish this inequality together with its equality cases for pairs of unconditional convex bodies with respect to some orthonormal basis. Applications of this fact are discussed. Moreover, we prove that the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality is equivalent to the (B)-Theorem for the uniform measure of the cube (this has been proven by Cordero-Erasquin, Fradelizi and Maurey for the gaussian measure instead).
