Abstract: Let Omega be an open half-space or slab in mathbbRn+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=mathbbRn+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.
