Abstract
We review some topics in the theory of symmetric decreasing rearrangements with a particular focus on Lieb’s fundamental contributions. Topics covered include the Brascamp–Lieb–Luttinger theorem, the sharp Young and Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev inequalities, as well as the continuity of the rearrangement map on Sobolev spaces.
