A Variation on Hölder-Brascamp-Lieb Inequalities (1710.06374v2)

Abstract: The H\"older-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities are a collection of multilinear inequalities generalizing a convolution inequality of Young and the Loomis-Whitney inequalities. The full range of exponents was classified in Bennett et al. (2008). In a setting similar to that of Ivanisvili and Volberg (2015), we introduce a notion of size for these inequalities which generalizes $L^p$ norms. Under this new setup, we then determine necessary and sufficient conditions for a generalized H\"older-Brascamp-Lieb type inequality to hold and establish sufficient conditions for extremizers to exist when the underlying linear maps match those of the convolution inequality of Young.
