An extension of Milman's reverse Brunn-Minkowski inequality

Abstract: The classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality states that for

A_{1}, A_{2} s u b s e t R^{n}

compact,

|A_1+A_2|^{1/n}ge |A_1|^{1/n}+|A_2|^{1/n}eqno(1)

where

| c d o t |

denotes the Lebesgue measure on

R^{n}

. In 1986 V. Milman {�f [Mil 1]} discovered that if

B_{1}

and

B_{2}

are balls there is always a relative position of

B_{1}

and

B_{2}

for which a perturbed inverse of

(1)

holds. More precisely:lqlq{sl There exists a constant

C > 0

such that for all

n i n N

and any balls

B_{1}, B_{2} s u b s e t R^{n}

we can find a linear transformation

u c o l o n R^{n} o R^{n}

with

| m d e t (u) | = 1

and

|u(B_1)+B_2|^{1/n}le C(|B_1|^{1/n}+|B_2|^{1/n})"

} The aim of this paper is to extend this Milman's result to a larger class of sets.
