Malliavin calculus and geometric interpretation of $\nabla \cdot ({\nabla F(x)}{\|\nabla F(x)\|^{-2}})$, with regards to the surface $S = \{F = 0\}$

Let $F:\mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R$ be a "sufficiently regular" function. For any $k \ge 1$ and $x \in \mathbb R^n$, define $$ \alpha_k(x) := \nabla \cdot \left(\dfrac{\nabla F(x)}{\|\nabla F(...

Is $\int_{-c}^c |A \cap (x + A)|\, dx$ maximized when the measurable subset $A \subseteq \mathbb R$ is an interval centered at the origin?

Let $A$ be a nonempty measurable subset of $\mathbb R$, with Lebesgue measure $|A|=1$, and let $c>0$. Define the scalar $I(A)$ by $$ I(A) := \int_{-c}^c |A \cap (x + A)|\, dx, $$ where $x+A := \{x +...
