The Ehrhard-Borell inequality stands at the top of the pyramid of Gaussian inequalities. It is a powerful and delicate statement about the convexity of the Gaussian measure. In this talk I will discuss the inequality and its beautiful proof by Borell. The delicate nature of the inequality however makes the characterization of the equality cases difficult and they were left unknown. I will explain how we solved this problem. Joint work with Ramon van Handel.
