The Kakeya conjecture and the Brascamp-Lieb inequality (日本語)
[ Abstract ]
Despite being ostensibly a problem in geometric measure theory,
the Kakeya conjecture has huge significance in modern Fourier analysis.
After discussing this connection,
I will explain the relevance of the Brascamp-Lieb inequality in this context
and introduce some recent progress in the theory of this inequality.
