Prékopa–Leindler inequality

In abstract algebra, the triple product property is an identity satisfied in some groups.

Let $G$ be a non-trivial group. Three nonempty subsets $S,T,U\subset G$ are said to have the triple product property in $G$ if for all elements $s,s'\in S$, $t,t'\in T$, $u,u'\in U$ it is the case that

$s's^{-1}t't^{-1}u'u^{-1}=1\Rightarrow s'=s,t'=t,u'=u$

where $1$ is the identity of $G$.

It plays a role in research of fast matrix multiplication algorithms.
