We obtain and study new $\Phi$-entropy inequalities for diffusion semigroups, with Poincar\'e or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities as particular cases. From this study we derive the asymptotic behaviour of a large class of linear…
We show how to use Lyapunov functions to obtain functional inequalities which are stronger than Poincar\'e inequality (for instance logarithmic Sobolev or $F$-Sobolev). The case of Poincar\'e and weak Poincar\'e inequalities was studied in…
In this paper we introduce and study a weakened form of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities in connection with various others functional inequalities (weak Poincar\'{e} inequalities, general Beckner inequalities...). We also discuss the…
We establish an improved form of the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the Gaussian measure restricted to probability densities which satisfy a Poincar\'e inequality. The result implies a lower bound on the deficit in terms of…
Matrix concentration inequalities provide information about the probability that a random matrix is close to its expectation with respect to the $l_2$ operator norm. This paper uses semigroup methods to derive sharp nonlinear matrix…
Using a discrete Bakry-{\'E}mery method based on the JKO scheme, relying on the dissipation of entropy and Fisher information along a discrete flow, we establish new generalized logarithmic Sobolev inequality for log-concave measures of the…
We develop the optimal transportation approach to modified log-Sobolev inequalities and to isoperimetric inequalities. Various sufficient conditions for such inequalities are given. Some of them are new even in the classical log-Sobolev…
This paper aims to provide some tools coming from functional inequalities to deal with quasi-stationarity for absorbed Markov processes. First, it is shown how a Poincar\'e inequality related to a suitable Doob transform entails exponential…

We consider two methods to establish log-Sobolev inequalities for the invariant measure of a diffusion process when its density is not explicit and the curvature is not positive everywhere. In the first approach, based on the Holley-Stroock…
We investigate several functional and geometric inequalities on the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^N$, with a primary emphasis on logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, Poincar\'e inequalities, and Beckner-type inequalities, all studied within the…
We present a class of modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality, interpolating between Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, suitable for measures of the type $\exp(-|x|^\al)$ or more complex $\exp(-|x|^\al\log^\beta(2+|x|))$…
We give by simple arguments sufficient conditions, so called Lyapunov conditions, for Talagrand's transportation information inequality and for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. Those sufficient conditions work even in the case where the…
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.…

If Poincar{\'e} inequality has been studied by Bobkov for radial measures, few is known about the logarithmic Sobolev inequalty in the radial case. We try to fill this gap here using different methods: Bobkov's argument and…
