This is an announcement for the paper "A direct proof of the functional Santalo inequality" by Joseph Lehec. Abstract: We give a simple proof of a functional version of the Blaschke-Santalo inequality due to Artstein, Klartag and Milman. The proof is by induction on the dimension and does not use the Blaschke-Santalo inequality. Archive classification: math.FA Mathematics Subject Classification: 26D15 (52A40) Citation: C. R. Math.
