Abstract: Let $Omega$ be an open half-space or slab in $mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ endowed with a perturbation of the Gaussian measure of the form $f(p):=exp(omega(p)-c|p{|}^2)$, where $c>0$ and $omega$ is a smooth concave function depending only on the signed distance from the linear hyperplane parallel to $partialOmega$. In this work we follow a variational approach to show that half-spaces perpendicular to $partialOmega$ uniquely minimize the weighted perimeter in $Omega$ among sets enclosing the same weighted volume. The main ingredient of the proof is the characterization of half-spaces parallel or perpendicular to $partialOmega$ as the unique stable sets with small singular set and null weighted capacity. Our methods also apply for $Omega=mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, which produces in particular the classification of stable sets in Gauss space and a new proof of the Gaussian isoperimetric inequality. Finally, we use optimal transport to study the weighted minimizers when the perturbation term $omega$ is concave and possibly non-smooth.
