A weighted relative isoperimetric inequality in convex cones

Abstract

A weighted relative isoperimetric inequality in convex cones is obtained via the Monge-Ampere equation. The method improves several inequalities in the literature, e.g. constants in a theorem of Cabre--Ros--Oton--Serra. Applications are given in the context of a generalization of the log-convex density conjecture due to Brakke and resolved by Chambers: in the case of $\alpha-$homogeneous ($\alpha>0$), concave densities, (mod translations) balls centered at the origin and intersected with the cone are proved to uniquely minimize the weighted perimeter with a weighted mass constraint. In particular, if the cone is taken to be $\{x_n>0\}$, reflecting the density, balls intersected with $\{x_n>0\}$ remain (mod translations) unique minimizers in the $\mathbb{R}^n$ analog in the case when the density vanishes on $\{x_n=0\}$.
