Title：The L_p-Brunn-Minkowski inequality
Abstract: The Brunn-Minkowski inequality is one of the best-known geometric inequalities. It states that the volume functional is logarithmically concave with respect to Minkowski addition for convex bodies. Over the past few decades, considerable effort has been devoted to establishing various strengthenings of this inequality. In this talk, I will introduce the topic and present some of its recent developments.
