We derive upper bounds on the fluctuations of a class of random surfaces of the $\nabla \phi$-type with convex interaction potentials. The Brascamp-Lieb concentration inequality provides an upper bound on these fluctuations for uniformly…
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 continue our investigation of the intertwining relations for Markov semigroups and extend the results of [9] to multi-dimensional diffusions. In particular these formulae entail new functional inequalities of Brascamp-Lieb type for…
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 investigate quantitative implications of the notion of log-concavity through a probabilistic interpretation. In particular, we derive concentration inequalities, moment and entropy bounds for random variables satisfying a precise degree…
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 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…
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…
The Brascamp-Lieb inequality in harmonic analysis was proved by Brascamp and Lieb in the rank one case in 1976, and by Lieb in 1990. It says that in a certain inequality, the optimal constant can be determined by checking the inequality for…
We establish concentration inequalities in the class of ultra log-concave distributions. In particular, we show that ultra log-concave distributions satisfy Poisson concentration bounds. As an application, we derive concentration bounds for…
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…
Brascamp-Lieb inequalities have been important in analysis, mathematical physics and neighboring areas. Recently, these inequalities have had a deep influence on Fourier analysis and, in particular, on Fourier restriction theory. In this…
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…
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.…
The seminal 1975 work of Brascamp-Lieb-Lebowitz initiated the rigorous study of Ginzberg-Landau random surface models. It was conjectured therein that fluctuations are localized on $\mathbb Z^d$ when $d\geq 3$ for very general potentials,…
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…
Log-concave distributions include some important distributions such as normal distribution, exponential distribution and so on. In this note, we show inequalities between two Lp-norms for log-concave distributions on the Euclidean space.…
We extend the theory of concentration inequalities to simple random tensors with heavy-tailed coefficients. Specifically, we consider the class of sub-Weibull distributions $\mathcal{S}_\alpha$ for $\alpha \in [1, 2]$. We establish…
We establish an effective upper bound for the Brascamp-Lieb constant associated to a weighted family of linear maps.
