Invariances in variance estimates

We provide variants and improvements of the Brascamp‐Lieb variance inequality which takes into account the invariance properties of the underlying measure. This is applied to spectral gap estimates for log-concave measures with many symmetries and to non-interacting conservative spin systems.
