What happens to the Gaussian volume of a Borel set when it is translated?
Let $\gamma_n$ be the standard Gaussian measure on $\mathbb R^n$, $A \subseteq \mathbb R^n$ be Borel and $c \in \mathbb R^n$. Define the translate $A_c := c + A := \{c+a \mid a \in A\} = \{x \in \...

$\newcommand\v{\operatorname{vol}_d(C}$Compact subsets of $ℝ^d$ which maximize $\inf_{|v|\le1}\dfrac{\v\cap(𝜀v+C))}{\v)}$ for fixed $\v)$ and $𝜀>0$
Let $\operatorname{vol}_d$ be the volume measure on $\mathbb R^d$ and let $B_d$ be the unit-ball. For $\varepsilon \ge 0$ and a compact subset $C$ of $\mathbb R^d$ with $\operatorname{vol}_d(C)>0$, ...

Lower-bound for $\underset{p \le \gamma_d(A) \le q}{\inf} \gamma(A^\epsilon)$, where $\gamma_d$ is the standard gaussian distribution on $\mathbb R^d$
Let $\gamma_d = \gamma_1 \otimes \ldots \otimes \gamma_1$ be the standard Gaussian distribution on $\mathbb R^d$, where $d$ is a large positive integer. Given $\epsilon \ge 0$ and a measurable $A \...

Isoperimetry on $[0, 1]^n$ w.r.t $\ell_p$ distance, with $p \in [1,\infty]$
Let $A$ be a measurable subset of the metric space $\mathcal X = ([0, 1]^n,\ell_p)$ with $1 \le p \le \infty$, and define its $\varepsilon$-blowup by $A^\varepsilon:=\{x \in \mathcal X \mid \|x-a\|_p \...

Compute lower bound on $\min_{E} \mathcal N(0,\sigma^2 I_n)(E)$ subject to $vol(E \cap H_n(r)) / vol(H_n(r)) \ge p$ where $H_n(r)$ is $n$-hemisphere
Let $n \ge 2$ be an integer, which may be assumed to be very large. For $r > 0$, consider the hemi-sphere $H_n(r) := S_n(r) \cap (\mathbb R^+ \times \mathbb R^{n-1})$, where
$$
S_n(r):= \{x \in \...

Gaussian isoperimetry for $\ell_p$ norms
Let $\gamma_n$ be the standard Gaussian measure on $\mathbb R^n$. It is well-known (e.g see Proposition 1) that for a given Gaussian volume content, half-spaces $H=\{x \in \mathbb R^n | a^Tx \le b\}$ ...
