Mean width inequalities for isotropic measures

In this paper, we establish Barthe’s mean width inequalities for continuous isotropic measures by a direct approach rather than using the Brascamp–Lieb inequality. The following results are obtained: among the convex hulls of the support of isotropic measures on S ^n–1, the regular simplex inscribed in the Euclidean unit ball has maximal ?-norm; in the dual situation, there is a reverse result for their polar bodies. Moreover, the case of even isotropic measures is also investigated.
