contents In this expository paper, we discuss a unified framework for proving various geometric inequalities, based on the so-called Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci technique. Examples include Cabré's proof of the classical isoperimetric inequality in Euclidean space; the Fenchel-Willmore-Chen inequality for the mean curvature of a submanifold; the sharp version of the Michael-Simon Sobolev inequality for submanifolds; the sharp version of Ecker's logarithmic Sobolev inequality for submanifolds; and the Sobolev inequality for complete manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and Euclidean volume growth. Finally, we discuss a connection to the work of Heintze and Karcher on the volume of a tubular neighborhood of a hypersurface in a manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature.
