We give a functional version of the affine isoperimetric inequality for log-concave functions which may be interpreted as an inverse form of a logarithmic Sobolev inequality inequality for entropy. A linearization of this inequality gives…

In this paper, We establish the weighted Poincar\'{e} inequalities and Log-Sobolev inequalities for Cauchy distributions with optimal weight functions.

We investigate the properties of convex functions in the plane that satisfy a local inequality which generalizes the notion of sub-solution of Monge-Ampere equation for a Monge-Kantorovich problem with quadratic cost between non-absolutely…

We discuss situations where perturbing a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ does not deteriorate its Poincar\'e constant by much. A particular example is the symmetric exponential measure in $\mathbb{R}^n$, even log-concave perturbations…

This note is devoted to the proof of convex Sobolev (or generalized Poincar\'{e}) inequalities which interpolate between spectral gap (or Poincar\'{e}) inequalities and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. We extend to the whole family of…

Given $p \in (1,\infty)$, let $(\operatorname{X},\operatorname{d},\mu)$ be a metric measure space with uniformly locally doubling measure $\mu$ supporting a weak local $(1,p)$-Poincar\'e inequality. For each $\theta \in [0,p)$, we…

We prove that in the context of general Markov semigroups Beckner inequalities with constants separated from zero as $p\to 1^+$ are equivalent to the modified log Sobolev inequality (previously only one implication was known to hold in this…

We derive weighted log-Sobolev inequalities from a class of super Poincar\'e inequalities. As an application, the Talagrand inequality with larger distances are obtained. In particular, on a complete connected Riemannian manifold, we prove…

We study several of the recent conjectures in regards to the role of symmetry in the inequalities of Brunn-Minkowski type, such as the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture of B\"or\"oczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang, and the Dimensional…

We prove Poincar\'e and Log$^{\beta}$-Sobolev inequalities for probability measures on step-two Carnot groups.

We derive sufficient conditions for a probability measure on a finite product space (a spin system) to satisfy a (modified) logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We establish these conditions for various examples, such as the (vertex-weighted)…

We present a general subadditivity inequality for log-Sobolev constants of convolution measures. As a corollary, we show that the log-Sobolev constant is monotone along the sequence of standardized convolutions in the central limit theorem.

In this paper, we use the semi-group method and an adaptation of the $L^2-$method of H\"ormander to establish some $\Phi-$entropy inequalities and asymmetric covariance estimates for the strictly convex measures in $\mathbb R^n$. These…

$\mu$ being a nonnegative measure satisfying some log-Sobolev inequality, we give conditions on F for the measure $\nu=e^{-2F} \mu$ to also satisfy some log-Sobolev inequality. Explicit examples are studied.

This paper's origins are in two papers: One by Colesanti and Fragal\`a studying the surface area measure of a log-concave function, and one by Cordero-Erausquin and Klartag regarding the moment measure of a convex function. These notions…

In recent years, log-concave density estimation via maximum likelihood estimation has emerged as a fascinating alternative to traditional nonparametric smoothing techniques, such as kernel density estimation, which require the choice of one…

We prove stability estimates for the Bakry-Emery bound on Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev constants of uniformly log-concave measures. In particular, we improve the quantitative bound in a result of De Philippis and Figalli asserting…

By the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, the difference $X-X'$ has a log-concave density provided that $X$ has a log-concave density and $X, X'$ are independent and identically distributed. We prove that the opposite direction does not always…

We establish universal modified log-Sobolev inequalities for reversible Markov chains on the boolean lattice $\{0,1\}^n$, under the only assumption that the invariant law $\pi$ satisfies a form of negative dependence known as the stochastic…

We investigate properties of measures in infinite dimensional spaces in terms of Poincar\'e inequalities. A Poincar\'e inequality states that the $L^2$ variance of an admissible function is controlled by the homogeneous $H^1$ norm. In the…
