Horospherical p-Minkowski inequalities of types I and II

Let n1n\geq1, let 0kn0\leq k\leq n, and let K,LHn+1K,L\subset\mathbb{H}^{n+1} be smooth uniformly h-convex bounded domains. Write φK,φL\varphi_K,\varphi_L for their horospherical support functions, λ~K\tilde\lambda_K for the shifted principal-curvature data, and rEk=Ik1(W~k(E))r^k_E=I_k^{-1}(\widetilde W_k(E)). Horospherical pp-Minkowski conjecture. For real pp, the source proposes the displayed inequalities and equality cases for p>0p>0 and for np<0-n\leq p<0:

SnφLpφKpnpnk(λ~K)dσSnφKnpnk(λ~K)dσωnsinhnkrKkekrKk(ep(rLkrKk)1)\int_{\mathbb S^n}\varphi_L^p\varphi_K^{-p-n}p_{n-k}(\tilde\lambda_K)\,d\sigma-\int_{\mathbb S^n}\varphi_K^{-n}p_{n-k}(\tilde\lambda_K)\,d\sigma\geq\omega_n\sinh^{n-k}r^k_K e^{-kr^k_K}\left(e^{p(r^k_L-r^k_K)}-1\right)

when p>0p>0, with the reverse inequality when np<0-n\leq p<0. The stated equality cases are exactly those in the source: for 0kn10\leq k\leq n-1, K=LK=L or concentric geodesic balls in the positive and n<p<0-n<p<0 cases; for p=np=-n the negative case allows geodesic balls; for k=nk=n they are the stated dilate cases, with equality always when k=n,p=nk=n,p=-n. These conjectures are infinitesimal forms of the horospherical Brunn–Minkowski conjecture; the k=nk=n Brunn–Minkowski case has already been solved, while the remaining cases are open.
