Isoperimetry for spherically symmetric log-concave probability measures
Abstract
Description
We prove an isoperimetric inequality for probability measures $μ$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with density proportional to $\exp(-ϕ(λ| x|))$, where $|x|$ is the euclidean norm on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $ϕ$ is a non-decreasing convex function. It applies in particular when $ϕ(x)=x^α$ with $α\ge1$. Under mild assumptions on $ϕ$, the inequality is dimension-free if $λ$ is chosen such that the covariance of $μ$ is the identity.
