| Jun 21, 2020 at 7:20 | comment | added | Gabe K | @usul I think that is basically the goal. The inequalities should be important enough to be widely used in some area, but not well known to people in an unrelated field. | |

| Jun 20, 2020 at 13:36 | comment | added | Gabe K | @QuartoBendir You're probably right. The fourth condition was added later and I was thinking of the original parabolic version as being the prototypical example. | |
| Jun 20, 2020 at 4:55 | comment | added | Quarto Bendir | @GabeK the Li-Yau inequality would be an example of all four criteria, not just the first three, wouldn't it? From scalar equations to Ricci flow and mean curvature flow, and also including the original Yau and Cheng-Yau gradient estimates in the elliptic setting | |

I added a rule to allow for classes of inequalities

| Jun 19, 2020 at 22:37 | comment | added | Gabe K | Thanks for the remark. Concentration of measure is definitely the sort of thing I had in mind when I asked this question, so I'll edit the question to allow for classes of inequalities. | |
| Jun 19, 2020 at 22:11 | comment | added | Terry Tao | Often in analysis it is a class of inequalities that is important, rather than a specific inequality from that class. For instance, the class of concentration of measure inequalities (Chernoff, Hoeffding, Bernstein, Azuma, McDiarmid, Levy, Talagrand, etc.) is extremely important in modern probability, combinatorics, random matrix theory, high dimensional geometry, and theoretical computer science, but I wouldn't single out a single inequality in this class as being particularly pivotal. | |
