Streszczenie
Let G be a connected locally compact group with a left invariant Haar measure μ. We prove that the function ξ(x) = inf {μ̅(AB): μ(A) = x} is concave for any fixed bounded set B ⊂ G. This is used to give a new proof of Kemperman's inequality $μ̲(AB) ≥ min (μ̲(A) + μ̲(B), μ(G))$ for unimodular G.
