$P$-log-Sobolev inequalities on $\mathbb{N}$

Abstract

We answer an open problem posed by Mossel--Oleszkiewicz--Sen regarding relations between pp-log-Sobolev inequalities for p(0,1]p\in(0,1]. We show that for any interval I(0,1]I\subset(0,1], there exist q,pIq,p\in I, q<pq<p, and a measure μ\mu for which the qq-log-Sobolev inequality holds, while the pp-log-Sobolev inequality is violated. As a tool we develop certain necessary and closely related sufficient conditions characterizing those inequalities in the case of birth-death processes on N\mathbb{N}.
