The classical Brascamp–Lieb inequalities describe the interaction between geometric means and the integration of functions composed with linear maps. This general approach provides a unified framework to the study of classical inequalities such as Hölder, Loomis–Whitney, and Young ones, originating from the work of Brascamp and Lieb. In their seminal paper Bennett, Christ, Carbery, and Tao proved that the Brascamp–Lieb inequalities hold true if and only if certain simple linear algebraic conditions involving the exponents appearing in the geometric means and the kernels/images of the linear maps are satisfied. Many different research directions stemmed from this starting point. For example, we can replace some of the functions with singular kernels which barely defy the required integrability conditions but come with good additional properties, e.g. cancellation. A second variation on the theme is obtained replacing the linear maps with more general submersions which locally can be approximated by the formers.
