Weighted Brunn-Minkowski Theory I: On Weighted Surface Area Measures

Abstract

The Brunn-Minkowski theory in convex geometry concerns, among other things, the volumes, mixed volumes, and surface area measures of convex bodies. We study generalizations of these concepts to Borel measures with density in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$-- in particular, the weighted versions of mixed volumes (the so-called mixed measures) when dealing with up to three distinct convex bodies. We then formulate and analyze weighted versions of classical surface area measures, and obtain a new integral formula for the mixed measure of three bodies. As an application, we prove a Bézout-type inequality for rotational invariant log-concave measures, generalizing a result by Artstein-Avidan, Florentin and Ostrover. The results are new and interesting even for the special case of the standard Gaussian measure.
