Reweighting probability measures by convex potentials, and contraction in transport distance
Let $W: \mathbf{R}^d \to \mathbf{R}$ be a convex function such that $\int \exp(-W) = 1$, and define probability measures $\mu_y$ by
$$\mu_y (dx) = \exp( - W (x - y)) \,dx,$$
i.e. each $\mu_y$ is a ...

Upper bound $\tau_C := \int_{\|x\| \le 1}(vol(C \cap (x + C))/vol(C))dx$ for a convex body $C \subseteq \mathbb R^n$, by reducing to a ball
Let $C$ be a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$, i.e a bounded convex subset of $\mathbb R^n$ which has nonempty interior, and which is (A) open, or (B) closed (I'm not sure one makes more sense; choose the ...
