In a statistical mechanics model with unbounded spins, we prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure under various assumptions on finite volume functional inequalities. We follow the approach of G. Royer (1999) and obtain uniqueness by showing…
The paper is devoted to provide Michael-Simon-type $L^p$-logarithmic-Sobolev inequalities on complete, not necessarily compact $n$-dimensional submanifolds $\Sigma$ of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^{n+m}$. Our first result, stated for…
We study the log-concave measures, their characterization via the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler property and also define a subset of it whose elements are called super log-concave measures which have the property of satisfying a logarithmic Sobolev…
It is well-known that measures whose density is the form $e^{-V}$ where $V$ is a uniformly convex potential on $\RR^n$ attain strong concentration properties. In search of a notion of log-concavity on the discrete hypercube, we consider…
In this paper we prove a sharp defective log-Sobolev inequality on H-type groups. Then we use such an inequality to show exponential integrability of Lipschitz functions with respect to the heat kernel measure. A defective log-Sobolev-type…
We prove an Hopf-Lax-Oleinik formula for the solutions of some Hamilton- Jacobi equations on a general metric space. As a first consequence, we show in full gener- ality that the log-Sobolev inequality is equivalent to an hypercontractivity…
A positive correlation inequality is established for circular-invariant plurisubharmonic functions, with respect to complex Gaussian measures. The main ingredients of the proofs are the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup, and another natural…
Building on the inequalities for homogeneous tetrahedral polynomials in independent Gaussian variables due to R. Lata{\l}a we provide a concentration inequality for non-necessarily Lipschitz functions $f\colon \R^n \to \R$ with bounded…
We employ a Markov semigroup approach combined with the $\Gamma$-calculus to establish a generalized Beckner inequality associated with weighted Gaussian measures. As a direct consequence, we derive the corresponding Poincar\'e inequality…
An explicit sufficient condition on the hypercontractivity is derived for the Markov semigroup associated to a class of functional stochastic differential equations. Consequently, the semigroup $P_t$ converges exponentially to its unique…
This paper is a follow up to an article by two of the authors dedicated to the study of Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for measures of the form $d\mu = e^{-U} d\nu$ where $e^{-U}$ is seen as a perturbation of $d\nu$.…
We consider generalised Mehler semigroups and, assuming the existence of an associated invariant measure $\sigma$, we prove functional integral inequalities with respect to $\sigma$, such as logarithmic Sobolev and Poincar\'{e} type.…
The continuum $\varphi^4_2$ and $\varphi^4_3$ measures are shown to satisfy a log-Sobolev inequality uniformly in the lattice regularisation under the optimal assumption that their susceptibility is bounded. In particular, this applies to…
We study functional inequalities (Poincar\'e, Cheeger, log-Sobolev) for probability measures obtained as perturbations. Several explicit results for general measures as well as log-concave distributions are given.The initial goal of this…
We provide a proof of the sharp log-Sobolev inequality on a compact interval.
Extending results of Harg{\'e} and Hu for the Gaussian measure, we prove inequalities for the covariance Cov$_\mu(f, g)$ where $\mu$ is a general product probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $f,g: \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}$ satisfy…
In this paper we study several inequalities of log-Sobolev type for Dunkl operators. After proving an equivalent of the classical inequality for the usual Dunkl measure $\mu_k$, we also study a number of inequalities for probability…
We show that certain functional inequalities, e.g.\ Nash-type and Poincar\'e-type inequalities, for infinitesimal generators of $C_0$ semigroups are preserved under subordination in the sense of Bochner. Our result improves \cite[Theorem…
In this work, we study the rigidity problem for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality on a complete metric measure space $(M^n,g,f)$ with Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature satisfying $Ric_f\geq \frac{a}{2}g$, for some $a>0$. We prove that if…
We give a sufficient and necessary condition for a probability measure $\mu$ on the real line to satisfy the logarithmic Sobolev inequality for convex functions. The condition is expressed in terms of the unique left-continuous and…
