Minkowski inequality for nearly spherical domains

Abstract: We investigate the validity and the stability of various Minkowski-like inequalities for

C^{1}

-perturbations of the ball. Let

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

be a domain (possibly not convex and not mean-convex) which is

C^{1}

-close to a ball. We prove the sharp geometric inequality

left(int_{partial K} lVert II Vert_1 dmathscr H^{n-1} ight)^{frac1{n-2}} ge C_1(n)Per(K)^{frac1{n-1}} ,

where

C_{1} (n)

is the constant that yields the equality when

K = B_{1}

(and

l V e r t I I V e r t_{1}

is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the second fundamental form

I I

of

p a r t i a l K

). Moreover, for any

d e l t a > 0

, if

K

is sufficiently

C^{1}

-close to a ball, we show the almost sharp Minkowski inequality

left(int_{partial K} H^+ dmathscr H^{n-1} ight)^{frac1{n-2}} ge (C_1(n)-delta)Per(K)^{frac1{n-1}} .

If

K

is axially symmetric, we prove the Minkowski inequality with the sharp constant (i.e.,

d e l t a = 0

). We establish also the sharp quantitative stability (in the family of

C^{1}

-perturbations of the ball) of the volumetric Minkowski inequality

left(int_{partial K} H^+ dmathscr H^{n-1} ight)^{frac1{n-2}} ge C_2(n)|K|^{frac1n} ,

where

C_{2} (n)

is the constant that yields the equality when

K = B_{1}

. Finally, we show, by constructing a counterexample, that the mentioned inequalities are false (even for domains

C^{1}

-close to the ball) if one replaces

H^{+}

with

H

.
