We provide variants and improvements of the Brascamp-Lieb variance inequality which take into account the invariance properties of the underlying measure. This is applied to spectral gap estimates for log-concave measures with many…
An inequality of Brascamp and Lieb provides a bound on the covariance of two functions with respect to log-concave measures. The bound estimates the covariance by the product of the $L^2$ norms of the gradients of the functions, where the…
We propose algebraic criteria that yield sharp H\"{o}lder types of inequalities for the product of functions of Gaussian random vectors with arbitrary covariance structure. While our lower inequality appears to be new, we prove that the…
By employing the recently obtained sharp stability versions of the Pr\'ekopa--Leindler inequality, we are able to obtain a sharp quantitative stability version for the Brascamp--Lieb inequality, as well as several different results on the…
We use Brascamp-Lieb's inequality to obtain new decoupling inequalities for general Gaussian vectors, and for stationary cyclic Gaussian processes. In the second case, we use a version by Bump and Diaconis of the strong Szego limit theorem.…
We prove, using the Brascamp-Lieb inequality, that the Gaussian measure is the only strong log-concave measure having a strong log-concavity parameter equal to its covariance matrix. We also give a similar characterization of the Poisson…
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 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 prove an $L^2$-stability estimate for the variance Brascamp-Lieb inequality [J. Funct. Anal. 22 (4), 366-389 (1976)] by bootstrapping the recent $L^1$-stability theorem of Machado and Ramos [arXiv:2511.22636] under an additional…
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…
We give a simple alternative proof of Royen's Gaussian Correlation inequality by using (a slightly generalized version of) Nakamura-Tsuji's symmetric inverse Brascamp-Lieb inequality for even log-concave functions. We explain that this…
We give a new approach, inspired by H\"ormander's $L^2$-method, to weighted variance inequalities which extend results obtained by Bobkov and Ledoux. It provides in particular a local proof of the dimensional functional forms of the…
We investigate unbounded continuous spin-systems with infinite-range interactions. We develop a new technique for deducing decay of correlations from a uniform Poincar\'e inequality based on a directional Poincar\'e inequality, which we…
Starting from an extension of the Poisson bracket structure and Kubo-Martin-Schwinger-property of classical statistical mechanics of continuous systems to spin systems, defined on a lattice, we derive a series of, as we think, new and…
The Brascamp-Lieb inequalities are a generalization of the H\"older, Loomis-Whitney, Young, and Finner inequalities that have found many applications in harmonic analysis and elsewhere. In this paper we introduce an "adjoint" version of…
In this article we consider a lattice system of unbounded continuos spins. Otto & Reznikoff used the two-scale approach to show that exponential decay of correlations yields a logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) with uniform constant in…
In this paper, we provide a new PDE proof for the celebrated Borell--Brascamp--Lieb inequality. Our approach reveals a deep connection between the Borell--Brascamp--Lieb inequality and properties of diffusion equations of porous medium type…
A common goal in observational research is to estimate marginal causal effects in the presence of confounding variables. One solution to this problem is to use the covariate distribution to weight the outcomes such that the data appear…
We present a general class of unbiased improved estimators for physical observables in lattice gauge theory computations which significantly reduces statistical errors at modest computational cost. The error reduction techniques, referred…
We suggest novel correlation coefficients which equal the maximum correlation for a class of bivariate Lancaster distributions while being only slightly smaller than maximum correlation for a variety of further bivariate distributions. In…
