Sharp stability of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality

Abstract: We consider recent results concerning the stability of the classic Brunn-Minkowski inequality. In particular we shall focus on the linear stability for homothetic sets. Resolving a conjecture of Figalli and Jerison, we show there are constants C,d>0 depending only on n such that for every subset A of R^n of positive measure, if |(A+A)/2 - A| <= d |A|, then |co(A) - A| <= C |(A+A)/2 - A| where co(A) is the convex hull of A. The talk is based on joint work with Hunter Spink and Marius Tiba.
