The Brascamp-Lieb inequalities: finiteness, structure, and extremals
  We consider the Brascamp--Lieb inequalities concerning multilinear integrals of products of functions in several dimensions. We give a complete treatment of the issues of finiteness of the constant, and of the existence and uniqueness of centred gaussian extremals. For arbitrary extremals we completely address the issue of existence, and partly address the issue of uniqueness. We also analyse the inequalities from a structural perspective. We obtain two new proofs of Lieb's fundamental theorem concerning exhaustion by gaussians. Our techniques are partly based upon monotonicity formulas for positive solutions to heat equations in linear and multilinear settings.
