We provide a pointwise bipolar theorem for liminf-closed convex sets of positive Borel measurable functions on a sigma-compact metric space without the assumption that the polar is a tight set of measures. As applications we derive a…
In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for Talagrand's like transportation cost inequalities on the real line. This brings a new wide class of examples of probability measures enjoying a dimension-free concentration of…
We show that the $\Lp$ Busemann-Petty centroid inequality provides an elementary and powerful tool to the study of some sharp affine functional inequalities with a geometric content, like log-Sobolev, Sobolev and Gagliardo-Nirenberg…
The nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation NLSE(p, \beta), -iu_t=-u_{xx}+\beta | u|^{p-2} u=0, arises from a Hamiltonian on infinite-dimensional phase space \Lp^2(\mT). For p\leq 6, Bourgain (Comm. Math. Phys. 166 (1994), 1--26) has shown that…
We prove higher order concentration bounds for functions on Stiefel and Grassmann manifolds equipped with the uniform distribution. This partially extends previous work for functions on the unit sphere. Technically, our results are based on…
Let $\mathscr{C}_n=\{-1,1\}^n$ be the discrete hypercube equipped with the uniform probability measure $\sigma_n$. We prove that if $(E,\|\cdot\|_E)$ is a Banach space of finite cotype and $p\in[1,\infty)$, then every function…
We derive a multiscale generalisation of the Bakry--\'Emery criterion for a measure to satisfy a Log-Sobolev inequality. Our criterion relies on the control of an associated PDE well known in renormalisation theory: the Polchinski equation.…
We give sharp conditions for the limiting Korn-Maxwell-Sobolev inequalities \begin{align*} \lVert P\rVert_{{\dot{W}}{^{k-1,\frac{n}{n-1}}}(\mathbb{R}^n)}\le…
In this paper we study the Sobolev inequality in the Dunkl setting using two new approaches which provide a simpler elementary proof of the classical case $p=2$, as well as an extension to the coefficient $p=1$ that was previously unknown.…
In this paper, we establish a new improved Sobolev inequality based on a weighted Morrey space. To be precise, there exists $C=C(n,m,s,\alpha)>0$ such that for any $u,v \in {\dot{H}}^s(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ and for any $\theta \in…
In this paper we show a new inequality which generalizes to the unit sphere the Lebedev-Milin inequality of the exponentiation of functions on the unit circle. It may also be regarded as the counterpart on the sphere of the second…
The Brunn-Minkowski and Pr\'{e}kopa-Leindler inequalities admit a variety of proofs that are inspired by convexity. Nevertheless, the former holds for compact sets and the latter for integrable functions so it seems that convexity has no…
In this paper, we prove the second-order Sobolev inequalities on Cayley graphs of groups of polynomial growth. We use the discrete Concentration-Compactness principle to prove the existence of extremal functions for best constants in…
Properties of a maximal function for vector-valued martingales were studied by the author in an earlier paper. Restricting here to the dyadic setting, we prove the equivalence between (weighted) L^p inequalities and weak type estimates, and…
We derive two upper bounds for the probability of deviation of a vector-valued Lipschitz function of a collection of random variables from its expected value. The resulting upper bounds can be tighter than bounds obtained by a direct…
Sobolev-type embeddings on metric measure spaces encode a subtle interaction between the analytic regularity of functions and the geometry of the underlying domain space. In this paper we develop an embedding theory for variable…
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…
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the isoperimetric inequality for symmetric log-convex probability measures on the line. Using geometric arguments we first re-prove that extremal sets in the isoperimetric inequality are intervals or…
We study the Sobolev inequality and the existence of its extremal functions in the setting of homogeneous H\"{o}rmander vector fields. A principal result establishes a mutual inclusion between the set of volume growth rates of subunit balls…
We review several inequalities concerning Gaussian measures - isoperimetric inequality, Ehrhard's inequality, Bobkov's inequality, S-inequality and correlation conjecture.
