Analysis Seminar - Euclidean vs Gauss Space: Brunn-Minkowski and Isoperimetric Inequalities, and Comparison Theorems

Jeffrey Langford, Department of Mathematics, Washington University in St. Louis

April 16, 2012 - 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Location: Cupples I, Room 199 | Host: Prof. John McCarthy

Abstract: We discuss the relation between the Brunn-Minkowski inequality and isoperimetric inequality in Euclidean space. Then, we discuss the analogue of these notions for Gauss space. We finish by discussing the analogue of Talenti's Theorem in Gauss Space.
