We investigate the effect of a Steiner type symmetrization on the isotropic constant of a convex body. We reduce the problem of bounding the isotropic constant of an arbitrary convex body, to the problem of bounding the isotropic constant of a finite volume ratio body. We also add two observations concerning the slicing problem. The first is the equivalence of the problem to a reverse Brunn-Min...

A Steiner type formula for continuous translation invariant Minkowski valuations is established. In combination with a recent result on the symmetry of rigid motion invariant homogeneous bivaluations, this new Steiner type formula is used to obtain a family of Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities for rigid motion intertwining Minkowski valuations.

We study a Riemannian manifold equipped with a density which satisfies the Bakry–Émery Curvature-Dimension condition (combining a lower bound on its generalized Ricci curvature and an upper bound on its generalized dimension). We first obtain a Poincaré-type inequality on its boundary assuming that the latter is locally-convex; this generalizes a purely Euclidean inequality of Colesanti, origin...

Large deviations and isoperimetric inequalities are considered for probability distributions, satisfying convexity conditions of the Brunn-Minkowski-type.

Let (Cd m)∞ denote the graph whose set of vertices is Zd m in which two distinct vertices are adjacent iff in each coordinate either they are equal or they differ, modulo m, by at most 1. Bollobás, Kindler, Leader, and O’Donnell proved that the minimum possible cardinality of a set of vertices of (Cd m)∞ whose deletion destroys all topologically nontrivial cycles is md − (m− 1)d. We present a s...
