Abstract:

The Brunn-Minkowski inequality gives a lower bound on the Lebesgue measure of a sumset in terms of the measures of the individual sets. This inequality plays a crucial role in the theory of convex bodies and has many interactions with isoperimetry and functional analysis. Stability of optimizers of this inequality in one dimension is a consequence of classical results in additive combinatorics. In this note we describe how optimal transportation and analytic tools can be used to obtain quantitative stability results in higher dimension.
