Abstract: The Lp-Brunn-Minkowski theory for pgeq1, proposed by Firey and developed by Lutwak in the 90's, replaces the Minkowski addition of convex sets by its Lp counterpart, in which the support functions are added in Lp-norm. Recently, B"{o}r"{o}czky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang have proposed to extend this theory further to encompass the range pin[0,1). In particular, they conjectured an Lp-Brunn-Minkowski inequality for origin-symmetric convex bodies in that range, which constitutes a strengthening of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality. Our main result confirms this conjecture locally for all (smooth) origin-symmetric convex bodies in mathbbRn and pin[1fraccn3/2,1). In addition, we confirm the local log-Brunn--Minkowski conjecture (the case p=0) for small-enough C2-perturbations of the unit-ball of ellqn for qgeq2, when the dimension n is sufficiently large, as well as for the cube, which we show is the conjectural extremal case. For unit-balls of ellqn with qin[1,2), we confirm an analogous result for p=cin(0,1), a universal constant. It turns out that the local version of these conjectures is equivalent to a minimization problem for a spectral-gap parameter associated with a certain differential operator, introduced by Hilbert (under different normalization) in his proof of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. As applications, we obtain local uniqueness results in the even Lp-Minkowski problem, as well as improved stability estimates in the Brunn-Minkowski and anisotropic isoperimetric inequalities.
