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,…

We derive two concentration inequalities for linear functions of log-concave distributions: an enhanced version of the classical Brascamp--Lieb concentration inequality, and an inequality quantifying log-concavity of marginals in a manner…

Given any (forward) Brascamp--Lieb inequality on euclidean space, a famous theorem of Lieb guarantees that gaussian near-maximizers always exist. Recently, Barthe and Wolff used mass transportation techniques to establish a counterpart to…

The Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality is a classical extension of the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, which in turn is a functional counterpart of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. The stability of these inequalities has received significant…

We show that a strong version of the Brascamp--Lieb inequality for symmetric log-concave measure with $\alpha$-homogeneous potential $V$ is equivalent to a $p$-Brunn--Minkowski inequality for level sets of $V$ with some $p(\alpha,n)<0$. We…

We study the infimum of the best constant in a functional inequality, the Brascamp-Lieb-like inequality, over auxiliary measures within a neighborhood of a product distribution. In the finite alphabet and the Gaussian cases, such an infimum…

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…

By using optimal mass transportation and a quantitative H\"older inequality, we provide estimates for the Borell-Brascamp-Lieb deficit on complete Riemannian manifolds. Accordingly, equality cases in Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities…

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…

In this article, we derive a new covariance estimate. The estimate has a similar structure as the Brascamp-Lieb inequality and is optimal for ferromagnetic Gaussian measures. It can be naturally applied to deduce decay of correlations of…

Abstract H\"{o}lder-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities have become a ubiquitous tool in Fourier analysis in recent years, due in large part to a theorem of Bennett, Carbery, Christ, and Tao (2008,2010) characterizing finiteness of the…

We prove a reverse form of the multidimensional Brascamp-Lieb inequality. Our method also gives a new way to derive the Brascamp-Lieb inequality and is rather convenient for the study of equality cases.
