Manifolds with Density

Frank Morgan

The subject is Riemannian manifolds whose volume and area elements are weighted by a density function; an example is Euclidean space weighted by the Gaussian probability density function, which is known as Gauss space and used in the study of Brownian motion. The author considers the generalization to these manifolds of volume estimates and isoperimetric inequalities.
