This is an announcement for the paper "An isomorphic version of the Busemann-Petty problem for arbitrary measures" by Alexander Koldobsky and Artem Zvavitch.

Abstract: We prove the following theorem. Let $\mu$ be a measure on $R^n$ with even continuous density, and let $K,L$ be origin-symmetric convex bodies in $R^n$ so that $\mu(K\cap H)\le \mu(L\cap H)$ for any central hyperplane H. Then $\mu(K)\le \sqrt{n} \mu(L).$ We also prove this result with better constants for some special classes of measures and bodies. Finally, we prove a version of the hyperplane inequality for convex measures.
