Long-time reverse transportation inequalities for non-globally-dissipative Langevin dynamics

Probability 2026-05-25 v2

Abstract

We establish a dimension-free, uniform-in-time reverse transportation inequality for Langevin dynamics with non-convex potentials. This inequality controls the R\'enyi divergence of arbitrary order between the process distributions starting from distinct initial points and serves as the dual version of the Harnack inequality. Notably, we prove that this inequality retains exponential decay in the long-time regime, thereby extending existing results for log-concave sampling to the non-convex setting.
