Sharp quantitative stability of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality

Abstract: The Brunn-Minkowski inequality states that for bounded measurable sets $A$ and $B$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we have $|A+B|^{1/n} \geq |A|^{1/n}+|B|^{1/n}$. Also, equality holds if and only if $A$ and $B$ are convex and homothetic sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$. The stability of this statement is a well-known problem that has attracted much attention in recent years. This paper gives a conclusive answer by proving the sharp stability result for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality on arbitrary sets.
