Inégalité de Brunn-Minkowski-Lusternik, et autres inégalités géométriques et fonctionnelles
[The Brunn-Minkowski-Lusternik inequality, and other geometric and functional inequalities]
Séminaire Bourbaki : volume 2003/2004, exposés 924-937, Astérisque, no. 299 (2005), Talk no. 928, pp. 95-113.

The theory of convex bodies has begun by the end of the 19th century with the Brunn inequality, later generalized as Brunn-Minkowski-Lusternik inequality, that applies also to non convex sets. This subject has had for a long time contacts with isoperimetric problems and inequalities in Analysis such as Sobolev inequalities. We shall deal with some more recent aspects of geometric inequalities; some of them are related to the mass transportation technique, in particular the “Brenier map”

La théorie des corps convexes a commencé à la fin du XIXe siècle avec l'inégalité de Brunn, généralisée ensuite sous la forme de l'inégalité de Brunn-Minkowski-Lusternik, qui s'applique à des ensembles non convexes. Ce thème a depuis longtemps des contacts avec les problèmes isopérimétriques et avec des inégalités d'Analyse telle que les plongements de Sobolev. On développera quelques aspects plus récents des inégalités géométriques, dont certains sont liés à la technique du transport de mesure, notamment le transport dit “de Brenier”.
