Isoperimetric inequality and OMT

A very interesting application of optimal transport is a proof of the isoperimetric inequality. The first proof with an OMT argument is due to Gromov and the main tool is the Knothe's map. [1]. This proof is based on an idea by Knothe <ref> Herbert Knothe. "Contributions to the theory of convex bodies.." Michigan Math. J. 4 (1) 39 - 52, 1957 <ref>
