We prove a new inequality which improves on the classical Hardy inequality in the sense that a nonlinear integral quantity with super-quadratic growth, which is computed with respect to an inverse square weight, is controlled by the energy.…

We find sufficient conditions for a probability measure $\mu$ to satisfy an inequality of the type $$ \int_{\R^d} f^2 F\Bigl(\frac{f^2}{\int_{\R^d} f^2 d \mu} \Bigr) d \mu \le C \int_{\R^d} f^2 c^{*}\Bigl(\frac{|\nabla f|}{|f|} \Bigr) d \mu…

We present a logarithmic Sobolev inequality adapted to a log-concave measure. Assume that $\Phi$ is a symmetric convex function on $\dR$ satisfying $(1+\e)\Phi(x)\leq {x}\Phi'(x)\leq(2-\e)\Phi(x)$ for $x\geq0$ large enough and with…

We consider a generic modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality (mLSI) of the form $\mathrm{Ent}_{\mu}(e^f) \le \tfrac{\rho}{2} \mathbb{E}_\mu e^f \Gamma(f)^2$ for some difference operator $\Gamma$, and show how it implies two-level…

An isoperimetric inequality on the Hamming cube for exponents $\beta\ge 0.50057$ is proved, achieving equality on any subcube. This was previously known for $\beta\ge \log_2(3/2)\approx 0.585$. Improved bounds are also obtained at the…

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…

In this short note we prove the logarithmic Sobolev inequality with derivatives of fractional order on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with an explicit expression for the constant. Namely, we show that for all $0<s<\frac{n}{2}$ and $a>0$ we have the…

For $1<p\leq 2$, any $n\geq 1$ and any $f:\{-1,1\}^{n} \to \mathbb{R}$, we obtain $(\mathbb{E} |\nabla f|^{p})^{1/p} \geq C(p)(\mathbb{E}|f|^{p} - |\mathbb{E}f|^{p})^{1/p}$ where $C(p)$ is the smallest positive zero of the confluent…

We show that the fractional Sobolev inequality for the embedding $\H \hookrightarrow L^{\frac{2N}{N-s}}(\R^N)$, $s \in (0,N)$ can be sharpened by adding a remainder term proportional to the distance to the set of optimizers. As a corollary,…

Let $ m, n $ be integers such that $ \frac{n}{2} > m \geq 1 $ and let $ (M, g) $ be a closed $ n-$dimensional Riemannian manifold. We prove there exists some $ B \in \mathbb{R} $ depending only on $ (M, g) $, $ m $, and $ n $ such that for…

For any $n \geq 1$, and any $f :\{-1,1\}^{n} \to \mathbb{R}$ we have $ \Re\, \mathbb{E}\, (f + i\, |\nabla f|)^{3/2} \leq \Re\, (\mathbb{E}f)^{3/2}, $ where $z^{3/2}$ for $z=x+iy$ is taken with principal branch and $\Re$ denotes the real…

Our basic result, an isoperimetric inequality for Hamming cube $Q_n$, can be written: \[ \int h_A^\beta d\mu \ge 2 \mu(A)(1-\mu(A)). \] Here $\mu$ is uniform measure on $V=\{0,1\}^n$ ($=V(Q_n)$); $\beta=\log_2(3/2)$; and, for $S\subseteq V$…

Suppose $0 < \alpha \leq n$, $H: \Bbb R^n \to [0,1]$ is a Lebesgue measurable function, and $A_\alpha(H)$ is the infimum of all numbers $C$ for which the inequality $\int_B H(x) dx \leq C R^\alpha$ holds for all balls $B \subset \Bbb R^n$…

We prove that the logarithmic Sobolev constant for the inhomogeneous symmetric nearest neighbour zero range process on a cube of size N^d grows as N^2. We apply this result to the inhomogeneous process which arises in the study of the…

We suppose: (1) that the ground-state eigenvalue E = F(v) of the Schroedinger Hamiltonian H = -Delta + vf(x) in one dimension is known for all values of the coupling v > 0; and (2) that the potential shape can be expressed in the form f(x)…
