General measure extensions of projection bodies

Abstract

The inequalities of Petty and Zhang are affine isoperimetric-type inequalities providing sharp bounds for $\text{vol}^{n-1}_{n}(K)\text{vol}_n(\Pi^\circ K),$ where $\Pi K$ is a projection body of a convex body $K$. In this paper, we present a number of generalizations of Zhang's inequality to the setting of arbitrary measures. In addition, we introduce extensions of the projection body operator $\Pi$ to the setting of arbitrary measures and functions, while providing associated inequalities for this operator; in particular, Zhang-type inequalities. Throughout, we apply shown results to the standard Gaussian measure.
