Volume inequalities for asymmetric Orlicz zonotopes (Q1990371)

The authors extend the asymmetric \(L_p\) volume product and asymmetric \(L_p\) volume ratio inequalities due to \textit{M. Weberndorfer} [Adv. Math. 240, 613--635 (2013; Zbl 1296.52008)] to the Orlicz setting. The proof here uses shadow system, which is the same as in the Weberndorfer paper [loc. cit.]. Let \(\phi: [0,\infty)\rightarrow [0,\infty)\) is a convex, strictly increasing function satisfying \(\phi(0)=0\) and \(\phi(1)=1\). Suppose \(\Lambda\) be a finite set of non-zero vectors spanning \(\mathbb{R}^n\). The asymmetric Orlicz zonotope \(Z_\phi^+ \Lambda\) is defined to be the convex body whose support function is given by \[ h_{Z_\phi^+ \Lambda}(u) = \inf\left\{\lambda>0: \sum_{w\in \Lambda} \phi\left(\frac{\langle w, u\rangle_+}{\lambda}\right)\leq 1\right\}, \] for each \(u\in \mathbb{R}^n\). Denote by \(Z_\phi^{+,*}\Lambda\) the polar body of \(Z_\phi^+ \Lambda\) with respect to its Santal point, and \(\Lambda_\perp\) be a canonical basis of \(\mathbb{R}^n\). The authors show the following volume product inequality: \[ V(Z_\phi^{+,*}\Lambda)V(Z_1^+\Lambda)\geq V(Z_\phi^{+,*}\Lambda_\perp)V(Z_1^+\Lambda_\perp) \] and the following volume ratio inequality: \[ \frac{V(Z_\phi^+ \Lambda)}{V(Z_1^+\Lambda)}\leq \frac{V(Z_\phi^+ \Lambda_\perp)}{V(Z_1^+\Lambda_\perp)}. \] Equality conditions for the above two inequalities are also completely characterized.
