Abstract: We prove a sharp stability result concerning how close homothetic sets attaining near-equality in the Brunn-Minkowski inequality are to being convex. In particular, resolving a conjecture of Figalli and Jerison, we show there are universal constants

such that for

A s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n}

of positive measure, if

, then

| o p e r a t o r n a m e c o (A) s e t m i n u s A | l e C_{n} | f r a c A + A 2 s e t m i n u s A |

Summary: We prove a sharp stability result concerning how close homothetic sets attaining near-equality in the Brunn-Minkowski inequality are to being convex. In particular, resolving a conjecture of Figalli and Jerison, we show there are universal constants \(C_n, d_n > 0\) such that for \(A \subset \mathbb{R}^n\) of positive measure, if \(|\frac{ A + A}{2} \backslash A| \leq d_n |A|\), then \(|\operatorname{co} (A) \backslash A| \leq C_n |\frac{ A + A}{2} \backslash A|\) for \(\operatorname{co} (A)\) the convex hull of \(A\).
