Rigid characterizations of probability measures through independence, with applications

Probability 2024-03-12 v1 Information Theory math.IT

Abstract

Three equivalent characterizations of probability measures through independence criteria are given. These characterizations lead to a family of Brascamp--Lieb-type inequalities for relative entropy, determine equilibrium states and sharp rates of convergence for certain linear Boltzmann-type dynamics, and unify an assortment of L2L^2 inequalities in probability.
