Abstract

A new proof is given for the fact that centered gaussian functions saturate the Euclidean forward-reverse Brascamp-Lieb inequalities, extending the Brascamp-Lieb and Barthe theorems. A duality principle for best constants is also developed, which generalizes the fact that the best constants in the Brascamp-Lieb and Barthe inequalities are equal. Finally, as the title hints, the main results concerning finiteness, structure and gaussian-extremizability for the Brascamp-Lieb inequality due to Bennett, Carbery, Christ and Tao are generalized to the setting of the forward-reverse Brascamp-Lieb inequality.
