Nakamura and Tsuji (2024) recently investigated a many-function generalization of the functional Blaschke--Santal\'o inequality, which they refer to as a generalized Legendre duality relation. They showed that, among the class of all even…

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,…

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…

We give a short proof of the Brascamp-Lieb theorem, which asserts that a certain general form of Young's convolution inequality is saturated by Gaussian functions. The argument is inspired by Borell's stochastic proof of the…

Motivated by the geodesic barycenter problem from optimal transportation theory, we prove a natural generalization of the Blaschke-Santalo inequality and the affine isoperimetric inequalities for many sets and many functions. We derive from…

We explore alternative functional or transport-entropy formulations of the Blaschke-Santal{\'o} inequality and of its conjectured counterpart due to Mahler. In particular, we obtain new direct and reverse Blaschke-Santal{\'o} inequalities…

The classical Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality theorem establishes a significant connection between Monge optimal transport and maximization of a linear form on the set of 1-Lipschitz functions. This result has been widely used in various…

We prove a general duality result showing that a Brascamp--Lieb type inequality is equivalent to an inequality expressing subadditivity of the entropy, with a complete correspondence of best constants and cases of equality. This open a new…

We consider regularized Brascamp-Lieb inequalities using the theory of optimal transportation, more precisely an anisotropic version of Caffarelli's contraction theorem. Furthermore, we provide a full picture concerning the issues of…

In this paper, we establish a Kantorovich duality for weak optimal total variation transport problems. As consequences, we recover a version of duality formula for partial optimal transports established by Caffarelli and McCann; and we also…

We reveal the relation between the Legendre transform of convex functions and heat flow evolution, and how it applies to the functional Blaschke-Santalo inequality. We also describe local maximizers in this inequality.

It is known that by dualizing the Bochner-Lichnerowicz-Weitzenb\"{o}ck formula, one obtains Poincar\'e-type inequalities on Riemannian manifolds equipped with a density, which satisfy the Bakry-\'Emery Curvature-Dimension condition…
