Talks on

Multi-variable Sinc Integrals and the Volumes of Polyhedra



Abstract: Using classical Fourier transform techniques, we establish inequalities for integrals of the form $$\int_0^\infty\prod_{k=0}^n \frac{\sin(a_kx)}{a_kx}\,dx.$$ We then give quite striking closed form evaluations of such integrals and finish by discussing various extensions and applications.
