Abstract: We establish a quantitative isoperimetric inequality for weighted Riemannian manifolds with mathrmRicinftyge1. Precisely, we give an upper bound of the volume of the symmetric difference between a Borel set and a sub-level (or super-level) set of the associated guiding function (arising from the needle decomposition), in terms of the deficit in Bakry-Ledoux's Gaussian isoperimetric inequality. This is the first quantitative isoperimetric inequality on noncompact spaces besides Euclidean and Gaussian spaces. Our argument makes use of Klartag's needle decomposition (also called localization), and is inspired by a recent work of Cavalletti, Maggi and Mondino on compact spaces. Besides the quantitative isoperimetry, a reverse Poincar'e inequality for the guiding function that we have as a key step, as well as the way we use it, are of independent interest.


Inspired by Cavalletti, Maggi, and Mondino's method (by generalizing \textit{B. Klartag}'s needle decomposition [Needle decompositions in Riemannian geometry. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (2017; Zbl 1457.53028)]) of quantitative Levy-Gromov isoperimetric inequality in [\textit{F. Cavalletti} et al., Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 72, No. 8, 1631--1677 (2019; Zbl 1433.53066)], the authors give a quantitative isoperimetric inequality for weighted Riemannian manifolds (\(M\), \(d\), \(e^{-\Psi}\)\(\mathrm{Vol}_g\)) with Bakry-Émery curvature bounded below by \(k>0\), i.e., \(\mathrm{Ric}_{\infty}:=\mathrm{Ric}_g+ \mathrm{Hess}\Psi\geq k\). Since \(\mathrm{Ric}_{\infty}\geq k\) can hold for non-compact weighted Riemannian manifolds, the authors choose Gaussian space as the model space and use the Gaussian isoperimetric inequality which is proved by \textit{D. Bakry} and \textit{M. Ledoux} [Invent. Math. 123, No. 2, 259--281 (1996; Zbl 0855.58011)].
