The first three results in this thesis are motivated by a far-reaching conjecture on boundedness of singular Brascamp-Lieb forms. Firstly, we improve over the trivial estimate for their truncations, thus excluding potential trivial…
We prove a nonlinear variant of the general Brascamp-Lieb inequality. Instances of this inequality are quite prevalent in analysis, and we illustrate this with substantial applications in harmonic analysis and partial differential…
Cook's [J. Roy. Statist. Soc. Ser. B 48 (1986) 133--169] local influence approach based on normal curvature is an important diagnostic tool for assessing local influence of minor perturbations to a statistical model. However, no rigorous…
We characterize the symmetric measures which satisfy the one dimensional convex infimum convolution inequality of Maurey. For these measures the tensorization argument yields the two level Talagrand's concentration inequalities for their…
Threshold-type counts based on multivariate occupancy models with log concave marginals admit bounded size biased couplings under weak conditions, leading to new concentration of measure results for random graphs, germ-grain models in…
The H\"older-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities are a collection of multilinear inequalities generalizing a convolution inequality of Young and the Loomis-Whitney inequalities. The full range of exponents was classified in Bennett et al. (2008). In…
We prove strong hypercontractivity (SHC) inequalities for logarithmically subharmonic functions on $\RR^n$ and different classes of measures: Gaussian measures on $\RR^n$, symmetric Bernoulli and symmetric uniform probability measures on…
We derive uniform concentration inequalities for continuous-time analogues of empirical processes and related stochastic integrals of scalar ergodic diffusion processes. Thereby, we lay the foundation typically required for the study of…
In this paper, we discuss the Hardy inequality with bilinear operators on general metric measure spaces. We give the characterization of weights for the bilinear Hardy inequality to hold on general metric measure spaces having polar…
We propose a new, self-contained, approach to H. Raufi's extension of Prekopa's theorem for matrix-valued log-concave functions. Along the way, new related inequalities are established, in particular a Brascamp-Lieb variance inequality for…
We formulate a non-commutative analog of the Brascamp-Lieb inequality, and prove it in several concrete settings.
We analyse the massless wave equation on a class of two dimensional manifolds consisting of an arbitrary number of topological cylinders connected to one or more topological spheres. Such manifolds are endowed with a degenerate…
Truesdell's empirical inequalities are considered essential in various fields of nonlinear elasticity. However, they are often used merely as a sufficient criterion for semi-invertibility of the isotropic stress strain-relation, even though…
We study the notion of reverse hypercontractivity. We show that reverse hypercontractive inequalities are implied by standard hypercontractive inequalities as well as by the modified log-Sobolev inequality. Our proof is based on a new…
This note presents a sharp transport-entropy inequality that improves on Talagrand's inequality for the Gaussian measure, arising as a dual formulation of the functional Santal\'o inequality. We also discuss some extensions and connections…
By differentiating a concavity principle arising from the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, we obtain a statement simultaneously strengthening the weighted boundary Poincar\'e inequality and the Brascamp-Lieb variance inequality. The resulting…
We review some simple techniques based on monotone mass transport that allow to obtain transport-type inequalities for any log-concave probability measure, and for more general measures as well. We discuss quantitative forms of these…
Using projective limits as subsets of Cartesian products of homomorphisms from a lattice to the structure group, a consistent interaction measure and an infinite-dimensional calculus has been constructed for a theory of non-abelian…
Gibbs-Boltzmann entropy leads to systems that have a strong dependence on initial conditions. In reality, most materials behave quite independently of initial conditions. Nonextensive entropy or Tsallis entropy leads to nonextensive…
We consider the cross section in Fourier space, conjugate to the outgoing hadron's transverse momentum, where convolutions of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions and fragmentation functions become simple products.…
