The article builds on several recent advances in the Monge-Kantorovich theory of mass transport which have -- among other things -- led to new and quite natural proofs for a wide range of geometric inequalities such as the ones formulated…

We introduce the notion of an interpolating path on the set of probability measures on finite graphs. Using this notion, we first prove a displacement convexity property of entropy along such a path and derive Prekopa-Leindler type…

We prove new entropy inequalities for log concave and s-concave functions that strengthen and generalize recently established reverse log Sobolev and Poincare inequalities for such functions. This leads naturally to the concept of…

The entropy per coordinate in a log-concave random vector of any dimension with given density at the mode is shown to have a range of just 1. Uniform distributions on convex bodies are at the lower end of this range, the distribution with…

We show that $h_\infty(X+Y)\leq h_\infty(Z+W)$, where $X, Y$ are independent log-concave random variables, and $Z, W$ are exponential random variables having the same respective $\infty$-R\'enyi entropies. Analogs for integer-valued…

The entropy power inequality for independent random vectors is a foundational result of information theory, with deep connections to probability and geometric functional analysis. Several extensions of the entropy power inequality have been…

New Orlicz Brunn-Minkowski inequalities are established for rigid motion compatible Minkowski valuations of arbitrary degree. These extend classical log-concavity properties of intrinsic volumes and generalize seminal results of Lutwak and…

Information concentration of probability measures have important implications in learning theory. Recently, it is discovered that the information content of a log-concave distribution concentrates around their differential entropy, albeit…

We introduce a novel generalization of entropy and conditional entropy from which most definitions from the literature can be derived as particular cases. Within this general framework, we investigate the problem of designing…

We establish a variant of the log-Sobolev and transport-information inequalities for mixture distributions. If a probability measure $\pi$ can be decomposed into components that individually satisfy such inequalities, then any measure $\mu$…

This note contributes to the understanding of generalized entropy power inequalities. Our main goal is to construct a counter-example regarding monotonicity and entropy comparison of weighted sums of independent identically distributed…

The concept of Entropy plays a key role in Information Theory, Statistics, and Machine Learning.This paper introduces a new entropy measure, called the t-entropy, which exploits the concavity of the inverse-tan function. We analytically…

By differentiating a concavity principle arising from the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, we obtain a statement simultaneously strengthening the weighted boundary Poincar\'e inequality and the Brascamp-Lieb variance inequality. The resulting…

In contemporary convex geometry, the rapidly developing L_p-Brunn Minkowski theory is a modern analogue of the classical Brunn Minkowski theory. A cornerstone of this theory is the L_p-affine surface area for convex bodies. Here, we…
