Brascamp--Lieb inequalities on locally compact abelian groups

Abstract

We establish a structure theorem for the Brascamp--Lieb constant formulated in the general setting of locally compact abelian groups. This extends and unifies the finiteness characterisations previously known for euclidean spaces and for finitely generated groups and their duals. We place particular emphasis on Fourier invariance throughout, reflecting the fundamental Fourier invariance of Brascamp--Lieb multilinear forms in this context.
