This talk will detail two recent papers concerning Rogers-Shephard inequalities and Zhang inequalities for various classes of measures, the first of which is a reverse form of the Brunn-Minkowsk inequality, and the second of which can be seen to be a reverse affine isoperimetric inequality; the feature of both inequalities is that they each provide a classification of the n-dimensional simplex in the volume case. The covariogram of a measure plays an essential role in the proofs of each of these inequalities. In particular, we will discuss a variational formula concerning the covariogram resulting in a measure theoretic version of the projection body, an object which has recently gained a lot of attention--these objects were previously studied by Livshyts in her analysis of the Shephard problem for general measure.
