On stochastic forms of functional isoperimetric inequalities
摘要
We present a probabilistic interpretation of several functional isoperimetric inequalities within the class of p-concave functions, building on random models for such functions introduced by P. Pivovarov and J. Rebollo-Bueno. First, we establish a stochastic isoperimetric inequality for a functional extension of the classical quermassintegrals, which yields a Sobolev-type inequality in this random setting as a particular case. Motivated by the latter, we further show that Zhang’s affine Sobolev inequality holds in expectation when dealing with these random models of p-concave functions. Finally, we confirm that our results recover both their geometric analogues and deterministic counterparts. As a consequence of the latter, we establish a generalization of Zhang’s affine Sobolev inequality restricted to p-concave functions in the context of convex measures.
