A hyperplane inequality for measures of convex bodies in $\R^n,\ n\le 4$

Abstract

We generalize the hyperplane inequality in dimensions up to 4 to the setting of arbitrary measures in place of the volume. To prove this generalization we establish stability in the affirmative part of the solution to the Busemann-Petty problem asking whether symmetric convex bodies in R^n with smaller (n-1)-dimensional volume of all central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller n-dimensional volume.
