Kakeya-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities (Q785509)

Brascamp-Lieb inequalities form a family of Lebesgue space estimates for multilinear forms that generalize the Hölder inequality, the Young convolution inequality and the Loomis-Whitney inequality. \textit{H. J. Brascamp} and \textit{E. H. Lieb} [Adv. Math. 20, 151--173 (1976; Zbl 0339.26020)] proved that these inequalities are extremized by Gaussians, while \textit{J. Bennett} et al. [Geom. Funct. Anal. 17, No. 5, 1343--1415 (2008; Zbl 1132.26006)] gave a combinatorial characterization of the geometric situations in which these inequalities hold. One of Kakeya-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities, which are generalizations of Brascamp-Lieb inequalities, is the multilinear Kakeya inequality, which was proved by \textit{J. Bennett} et al. [Acta Math. 196, No. 2, 261--302 (2006; Zbl 1203.42019)]. More general Kakeya-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities were proved in [\textit{J. Bennett} et al., Am. J. Math. 140, No. 2, 543--569 (2018; Zbl 1398.42004)] and applied in the proof of the decoupling theorem for the moment curve by \textit{J. Bourgain} et al. [Ann. Math. (2) 184, No. 2, 633--682 (2016; Zbl 1408.11083)]. The endpoint version of the multilinear Kakeya inequality was established by \textit{L. Guth} [Acta Math. 205, No. 2, 263--286 (2010; Zbl 1210.52004)]. The author shows that local discrete Brascamp-Lieb inequalities can be extended to Kakeya-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities with a loss in the constant that depends only on the dimension of the integration domain and the total power in the inequality. The paper is systematically well organized and the results are useful for researchers on Kakeya-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities.
