We revisit entropy methods to prove new sharp trace logarithmic Sobolev and sharp Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequalities on the half space, with a focus on the entropy inequality itself and not the actual flow, allowing for somewhat…
We prove that in two dimensions the synthetic notions of lower bounds on sectional and on Ricci curvature coincide.
We analyze the Ricci flow of a noncompact metric that describes a two-dimensional black hole. We consider entanglement entropy of a 2d black hole which is due to the quantum correlations between two subsystems: one is inside and the other…
In this paper, we consider the Euclidean logarithmic Sobolev inequality \begin{eqnarray*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^d}|u|^2\log|u|dx\leq\frac{d}{4}\log\bigg(\frac{2}{\pi d e}\|\nabla u\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)}^2\bigg), \end{eqnarray*} where $u\in…
We show that there are no general stability results for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality in terms of the Wasserstein distances and $L^{p}(d\gamma)$ distance for $p>1$. To this end, we construct a sequence of centered probability measures…
We identify sharp spaces and prove quantitative and non-quantitative stability results for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality involving Wasserstein and $L^p$ metrics. The techniques are based on optimal transport theory and Fourier…
We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequalities on higher-dimensional bounded smooth domains based on novel Gagliardo-Nirenberg type interpolation inequalities. Moreover, we use them to address the long-time dynamics of some nonlinear nonlocal…
We prove a sharp moment inequality for a log-concave or a log-convex function, on Gaussian random vectors. As an application we take a stability result for the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality of L. Gross in the case where the…
We give the global picture of the normalized Ricci flow on generalized flag manifolds with two or three isotropy summands. The normalized Ricci flow for these spaces descents to a parameter depending system of two or three ordinary…
We prove a uniform Sobolev inequality for Ricci flow, which is independent of the number of surgeries. As an application, under less assumptions, a non-collapsing result stronger than Perelman's $\kappa$ non-collapsing with surgery is…
I discuss certain applications of the Ricci flow in physics. I first review how it arises in the renormalization group (RG) flow of a nonlinear sigma model. I then review the concept of a Ricci soliton and recall how a soliton was used to…
We prove that the logarithmic Sobolev constant for zero-range processes in a box of diameter $L$ grows as $L^2$.
In this paper we prove the existence of Type II singularities for the Ricci flow on $S^{n+1}$ for all $n\geq 2$.
In this short paper we generalize the classical inequality between the norms in Lebesgue spaces of the functions and its derivatives, which in the multidimensional case are called Sobolev's inequalities, on the many popular classes pairs of…
We give a simple proof of the $\lambda = d-2$ cases of the sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for $d\geq 3$, and the sharp Logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for $d=2$ via a monotone flow governed by the fast diffusion…
We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and concentration results for convex functions and a class of product random vectors. The results are used to derive tail and moment inequalities for chaos variables (in spirit of Talagrand and…
We review the main aspects of Ricci flows as they arise in physics and mathematics. In field theory they describe the renormalization group equations of the target space metric of two dimensional sigma models to lowest order in the…
We give a global picture of the Ricci flow on the space of three-dimensional, unimodular, nonabelian metric Lie algebras considered up to isometry and scaling. The Ricci flow is viewed as a two-dimensional dynamical system for the evolution…
We prove that synthetic lower Ricci bounds for metric measure spaces -- both in the sense of Bakry-\'Emery and in the sense of Lott-Sturm-Villani -- can be characterized by various functional inequalities including local Poincar\'e…
We present in this paper a general approach to study the Ricci flow on homogeneous manifolds. Our main tool is a dynamical system defined on a subset H(q,n) of the variety of (q+n)-dimensional Lie algebras, parameterizing the space of all…
