The 1971 Fortuin-Kasteleyn-Ginibre (FKG) inequality for two monotone functions on a distributive lattice is well known and has seen many applications in statistical mechanics and other fields of mathematics. In 2008 one of us (Sahi)…
In this note, we present several inequalities in the context of pattern containment, utilizing elementary applications of the Fortuin-Kasteleyn-Ginibre (FKG) inequality and Shearer's lemma.
Let $L$ be a finite distributive lattice and $\mu : L \to {\mathbb R}^{+}$ a log-supermodular function. For functions $k: L \to {\mathbb R}^{+}$ let $$E_{\mu} (k; q) \defeq \sum_{x\in L} k(x) \mu (x) q^{{\mathrm rank}(x)} \in {\mathbb…
The Fortuin-Kasteleyn-Ginibre (FKG) inequality is an invaluable tool in monotone spin systems satisfying the FKG lattice condition, which provides positive correlations for all coordinate-wise increasing functions of spins. This inequality…
Let (L,\preccurlyeq) be a finite distributive lattice, and suppose that the functions f_1,f_2:L\to R are monotone increasing with respect to the partial order \preccurlyeq. Given \mu a probability measure on L, denote by E(f_i) the average…

We prove a Fr\"olicher-type inequality for a compact generalized complex manifold $M$, and show that the equality holds if and only if $M$ satisfies the generalized $\partial\bar{\partial}$-Lemma. In particular, this gives a unified proof…
The theory of Newton--Okounkov bodies provides direct relations and points out analogies between the theory of mixed volumes of convex bodies, on the one hand, and the intersection theories of Cartier divisors and of Shokurov $b$-divisors,…
We extend the classical Aleksandrov-Fenchel inequality for mixed volumes to functionals arising naturally in hermitian integral geometry. As a consequence, we obtain Brunn-Minkowski and isoperimetric inequalities for hermitian…

By calculating the first order variation of the dual mixed volumes, we put forward a new concept Orlicz multiple dual mixed volumes. The classical dual mixed volumes and dual Aleksandrov-Fenchel inequality are generalized to the Orlicz…
The Alexandrov Fenchel inequality, a far-reaching generalization of the classical isoperimetric inequality to arbitrary mixed volumes, is fundamental in convex geometry. In $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, it states: $\int_M\sigma_k d\mu_g \ge…

In this short paper we generalize the classical inequality between the norms in Lebesgue spaces of the functions and its derivatives, which in the multidimensional case are called Sobolev's inequalities, on the many popular classes pairs of…
Let $X$ be a projective variety of dimension $n$ over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic and let $A, B, C$ be nef divisors on $X$. We show that for any integer $1\leq k\leq n-1$, $$ (B^k\cdot A^{n-k})\cdot (A^k\cdot…
In this paper we generalize the classical Nikol'skii inequality on the many popular classes pairs of rearrangement invariant (r.i.) spaces and construct some examples in order to show the exactness of our estimations.
A notion of generalized $n$-semimodularity is introduced, which extends that of (sub/super)mod\-ularity in four ways at once. The main result of this paper, stating that every generalized $(n\colon\!2)$-semimodular function on the $n$th…
