Cyclic Brunn-Minkowski inequalities for dual mixed volumes (Q2219134): Difference between revisions

The paper under review contributes some new inequalities to the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory. The main results of the paper are contained in Theorems 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3. For example, Theorem 1.1 states that for convex bodies \(K,K', L \subset \mathbb R^n\) that are star-shaped with respect to the origin and for \(i,j,k\) \textit{real} the following holds true: \begin{itemize} \item If \(j < n-1\) and \(\min(i,k) \leqslant j \leqslant \max(i,k)\), then one has the following Brunn-Minkowski-type inequality for \textit{dual mixed volumes}: \[ \widetilde V_j (K \tilde{+} K', L)^{\frac{1}{n-j}} \leqslant \widetilde V_i(K,L)^{\frac{k-j}{(k-i)(n-j)}} \widetilde V_k(K,L)^{\frac{j-i}{(k-i)(n-j)}} + \widetilde V_i(K',L)^{\frac{k-j}{(k-i)(n-j)}} \widetilde V_k(K',L)^{\frac{j-i}{(k-i)(n-j)}}. \] \item If \(n-1 < j < n\) and \(\min(j,k) \leqslant i \leqslant \max(j,k)\), then \[ \widetilde V_j (K \tilde{+} K', L)^{\frac{1}{n-j}} \geqslant \widetilde V_i(K,L)^{\frac{k-j}{(k-i)(n-j)}} \widetilde V_k(K,L)^{\frac{j-i}{(k-i)(n-j)}} + \widetilde V_i(K',L)^{\frac{k-j}{(k-i)(n-j)}} \widetilde V_k(K',L)^{\frac{j-i}{(k-i)(n-j)}}. \] \end{itemize} Moreover, in both inequalities, for \(i \neq k\) the equality occurs if and only if \(K\) and \(K'\) are dilates of each other. Here, \(\tilde +\) is the \textit{radial Minkowski addition}, i.e.\ the radial function of the body \(K \tilde + K'\) is by definition equal to the sum of the radial functions of \(K\) and \(K'\). Similar inequalities are proven for so-called \textit{radial Blaschke addition} (Theorem 1.2) and for \textit{harmonic Blaschke addition} (Theorem 1.3).
