Abstract: The Loomis-Whitney inequality states that the volume of a convex body is bounded by the product of volumes of its projections onto orthogonal hyperplanes. We provide an extension of both this fact and a generalization of this fact due to Ball to the context of $q-$concave, $frac1q-$homogeneous measures.

Review text

The celebrated Loomis-Whitney inequality states that the volume (Lebesgue measure) of a convex body can be bounded from above by the product of the areas of its lower-dimensional projections onto \(u_i^\perp\) where \(\{u_1,u_2,\dots, u_n\}\) form an orthonormal basis. The Loomis-Whitney inequality was later generalized by Ball to allow for discrete isotropic measures replacing the role of the orthonormal basis \(u_1, \dots, u_n\). In this paper, the author extends the Loomis-Whitney inequality in another direction, namely, to consider the validity of inequalities of this type when \(\mathbb{R}^n\) is equipped with a different measure (a non-Lebesgue measure). The two main results show extensions of the original Loomis-Whitney inequality, as well as Ball's extension, in the case when the underlying measure in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) is \(q\)-concave and \(q\)-homogeneous. Both results will recover their Lebesgue counterpart, but with an additional factor of \(2^n\). An explanation for the occurrence of this factor can be found towards the end of the introduction.
