Uncentered Blaschke-Santaló inequalities for the Gaussian measure

We study the maximizers of the generalized volume product \[ γ_σ^n(A)\,γ_σ^n(A^\circ) \] among all measurable subsets $A\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, where $A^\circ$ denotes the polar set of $A$, and where $γ_σ^n$ denotes the centered Gaussian probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with covariance $σ^2 I_n$, $σ>0$. It turns out that the maximizers depend on $σ$. We prove that they exist and are convex bodies. In dimension $n=1$, we find the exact form of the maximizers. In dimension $n\ge 2$, we show that they are smooth bodies of revolution whose support function satisfies a certain differential equation. Moreover, for $σ^2 \le \frac{1}{n}$ we show that the Euclidean unit ball is the unique maximizer, while this is no longer the case for $σ^2\ge {\frac{2}{n+1}}$. In dimension $n=2$, we close the gap by showing that the Euclidean unit ball is the unique maximizer for $σ^2 \le \frac{2}{3}$.

Order Isomorphisms on Convex Functions in Windows

In this paper we give a characterization of all order isomorphisms on some classes of convex functions. We deal with the class $Cvx(K)$ consisting of lower-semi-continuous convex functions defined on a convex set $K$, and its subclass $Cvx_0(K)$ of non negative functions attaining the value zero at the origin. We show that any order isomorphism on these classes must be induced by a point map on the epi-graphs of the functions, and determine the exact form of this map. To this end we study convexity preserving maps on subsets of ${\mathbb R}^n$, and also in this area we have some new interpretations, and proofs.

On Godbersen's Conjecture

We provide a natural generalization of a geometric conjecture of Fáry and Rédei regarding the volume of the convex hull of $K \subset {\mathbb R}^n$, and its negative image $-K$. We show that it implies Godbersen's conjecture regarding the mixed volumes of the convex bodies $K$ and $-K$. We then use the same type of reasoning to produce the currently best known upper bound for the mixed volumes $V(K[j], -K[n-j])$, which is not far from Godbersen's conjectured bound. To this end we prove a certain functional inequality generalizing Colesanti's difference function inequality.

Functional affine-isoperimetry and an inverse logarithmic Sobolev inequality

We give a functional version of the affine isoperimetric inequality for log-concave functions which may be interpreted as an inverse form of a logarithmic Sobolev inequality inequality for entropy. A linearization of this inequality gives an inverse inequality to the Poincar'e inequality for the Gaussian measure.
