We discuss a general scheme that allows to realize certain geometric functional inequalities as statements about convexity of some functionals, and, inspired by the work of Bobkov and Ledoux, we obtain various interesting inequalities as their realizations. For example, we draw a link between Ehrhard’s inequality and an interesting extension of Bobkov’s inequality, and several new and more general inequalities are discussed as well. In this talk we discuss a joint project with Barthe, Cordero-Erausquin and Ivanisvili, and also mention briefly some results from a joint project with Cordero-Erausquin and Rotem.
