摘要

We extend several geometric inequalities for sections and projections of convex bodies to the setting of integrable log-concave functions. In particular, we introduce suitable generalizations of the affine and dual affine quermassintegrals of a log-concave function f and obtain upper and lower bounds for them in terms of the integral \(\Vert f\Vert _1\) f 1 . We also establish estimates for sections and projections of log-concave functions in the spirit of the lower dimensional Busemann-Petty and Shephard problems and extend to the log-concave setting the affirmative answer to a variant of these problems, proposed by V. Milman. The main objective of this work is to show that the assumption of log-concavity leads to inequalities whose constants are of the same order as those in the corresponding geometric inequalities.
