We investigate the dependence of optimal constants in Poincar\'e- Sobolev inequalities of planar domains on the region where the Dirichlet condition is imposed. More precisely, we look for the best Dirichlet regions, among closed and…
We consider random walks in dynamic random environments and propose a criterion which, if satisfied, allows to decompose the random walk trajectory into i.i.d. increments, and ultimately to prove limit theorems. The criterion involves the…
We review here some recent results by the authors, and various coauthors, on (weak,super) Poincar\'e inequalities, transportation-information inequalities or logarithmic Sobolev inequality via a quite simple and efficient technique:…
Probability measures satisfying a Poincar{\'e} inequality are known to enjoy a dimension free concentration inequality with exponential rate. A celebrated result of Bobkov and Ledoux shows that a Poincar{\'e} inequality automatically…
Explicit rate of convergence in variance (or more general entropies) is obtained for a class of Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes such as the TCP process, relying on functional inequalities. A method to establish Poincar\'e (and more…
We prove second and fourth order improved Poincar\'e type inequalities on the hyperbolic space involving Hardy-type remainder terms. Since theirs l.h.s. only involve the radial part of the gradient or of the laplacian, they can be seen as…
We consider the simple random walk on the (unique) infinite cluster of super-critical bond percolation in $\Z^d$ with $d\ge2$. We prove that, for almost every percolation configuration, the path distribution of the walk converges weakly to…
This paper deals with the study of some particular kinetic models, where the randomness acts only on the velocity variable level. Usually, the Markovian generator cannot satisfy any Poincar\'e's inequality. Hence, no Gronwall's lemma can…
The spin-statistics connection is obtained for a simple formulation of a classical field theory containing even and odd Grassmann variables. To that end, the construction of irreducible canonical realizations of the rotation group…
The notion of a successful coupling of Markov processes, based on the idea that both components of the coupled system ``intersect'' in finite time with probability one, is extended to cover situations when the coupling is unnecessarily…
A new series of correlation inequalities for random field spin systems is proven rigorously. First one corresponds to the well-known Schwartz-Soffer inequality. These are expected to rule out incorrect results calculated in effective…
We establish concentration inequalities for random dynamical systems (RDSs), assuming that the observables of interest are separately Lipschitz. Under a weak average contraction condition, we obtain deviation bounds for several random…
We study stability of the sharp Poincar{\'e} constant of the invariant probability measure of a reversible diffusion process satisfying some natural conditions. The proof is based on the spectral interpretation of Poincar{\'e} inequalities…
These lectures give an introduction to the methods of conformal field theory as applied to deriving certain results in two-dimensional critical percolation: namely the probability that there exists at least one cluster connecting two…
This paper studies Hoeffding's inequality for Markov chains under the generalized concentrability condition defined via integral probability metric (IPM). The generalized concentrability condition establishes a framework that interpolates…
We prove a new vectorial functional inequality of Poincar\'{e}-Beckner type. The inequality may be interpreted as an entropy-entropy production one for a gradient flow in the metric space of Radon measures. The proof uses subtle analysis of…
A susceptibility propagation that is constructed by combining a belief propagation and a linear response method is used for approximate computation for Markov random fields. Herein, we formulate a new, improved susceptibility propagation by…
We show that the Poincar\'{e} inequality holds on an open set $D\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ if and only if $D$ admits a smooth, bounded function whose Laplacian has a positive lower bound on $D$. Moreover, we prove that the existence of such a…
