   Colloquio del Dipartimento di Matematica
----------------------------------------------------------------------

   when: Wednesday, May 18, at 4 pm

   where: Dipartimento di Matematica, Aula Magna

   speaker: Franck Barthe (Universitè Paul Sabatier, Toulouse)

   title: Recent developments around the Brunn-Minkowski inequality

   tentative abstract: The aim of this lecture is to present a few recent
   developments  around  the  classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality on the
   volume  of  sum-sets.  A  classical tool of Euclidean geometry, it has
   influenced  several  other  topics. We will present proofs, extensions
   and  applications  of  the inequalities, thus showing connections with
   convex  geometry,  harmonic  analysis,  optimal  transport,  the  Heat
   equation, or concentration of probability measures.
