Barthe's symmetric Gaussian surface-area minimizer conjecture
Barthe's symmetric Gaussian surface-area minimizer conjecture
Fix . For subsets satisfying
consider the Gaussian surface area
Barthe's conjecture. If minimizes this quantity, then, after a rotation, there exist and such that
This asserts that solid round cylinders, including the relevant limiting cases and their complements, minimize Gaussian surface area among symmetric sets of prescribed Gaussian measure. The paper presents this as an open conjecture.
