Brunn-Minkowski inequalities in product metric measure spaces

英文摘要：

Given one metric measure space $X$ satisfying a linear Brunn-Minkowski inequality, and a second one $Y$ satisfying a Brunn-Minkowski inequality with exponent $p\ge -1$, we prove that the product $X\times Y$ with the standard product distance and measure satisfies a Brunn-Minkowski inequality of order $1/(1+p^{-1})$ under mild conditions on the measures and the assumption that the distances are strictly intrinsic. The same result holds when we consider restricted classes of sets. We also prove that a linear Brunn-Minkowski inequality is obtained in $X\times Y$ when $Y$ satisfies a Prékopa-Leindler inequality. In particular, we show that the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality holds for any pair of weakly unconditional sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (i.e., those containing the projection of every point in the set onto every coordinate subspace) when we consider the standard distance and the product measure of $n$ one-dimensional real measures with positively decreasing densities. This yields an improvement of the class of sets satisfying the Gaussian Brunn-Minkowski inequality. Furthermore, associated isoperimetric inequalities as well as recently obtained Brunn-Minkowski's inequalities are derived from our results.
