Abstract
NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document. For the additive group of the real numbers, the value, at the origin, of the convolution of three non-negative integrable functions is less than or equal to the corresponding value obtained from the symmetric rearrangements of those functions. That is [...]. This problem is investigated on general groups and it is shown that under a wide interpretation of the notion of symmetric rearrangement the validity of the inequality implies serious restrictions on the group. Both new and known results in [...] are developed using methods which in modified form yield the answer to the similar problem on the sphere.
