Pythagorean-like inequality for isoperimetric profiles of product measures

About 1 year old · traced to

Let μ1\mu_{1} and μ2\mu_{2} be log-concave probability measures on Riemannian manifolds M1\mathcal{M}_{1} and M2\mathcal{M}_{2}, respectively. For aa in the domain of the isoperimetric profiles, consider the product measure μ1⊗μ2\mu_{1}\otimes\mu_{2} and positive numbers a1,a2a_{1},a_{2} satisfying a1a2=aa_{1}a_{2}=a. Pythagorean-like inequality. One has

(Iμ1⊗μ2(a)a)2≥inf⁡a1a2=a[(Iμ1(a1)a1)2+(Iμ2(a2)a2)2],∀a.\left(\frac{I_{\mu_{1}\otimes\mu_{2}}(a)}{a}\right)^{2}\ge\inf_{a_{1}a_{2}=a}\left[\left(\frac{I_{\mu_{1}}(a_{1})}{a_{1}}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{I_{\mu_{2}}(a_{2})}{a_{2}}\right)^{2}\right],\qquad\forall a.

The conjecture would remove the finite-LL assumption from the paper's equivalence theorem and is motivated by the corresponding inequalities obtained from Bobkov's arguments. Its validity is not established in the supplied text.
