Improved log-concavity for rotationally invariant measures of symmetric convex sets

Abstract

We prove that the (B) conjecture and the Gardner-Zvavitch conjecture are true for all log-concave measures that are rotationally invariant, extending previous results known for Gaussian measures. Actually, our result apply beyond the case of log-concave measures, for instance to Cauchy measures as well. For the proof, new sharp weighted Poincaré inequalities are obtained for even probability measures that are log-concave with respect to a rotationally invariant measure.
