Harmonic interpolation and a Brunn-Minkowski theorem for random determinants
Paper in proceeding, 2025

We describe the harmonic interpolation of convex bodies, and prove a strong form of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality and characterize its equality case. As an application we improve a theorem of Berndtsson on the volume of slices of a pseudoconvex domain. We furthermore apply this to prove subharmonicity of the expected absolute value of the determinant of a matrix of random vectors through the connection with zonoids.
