We prove that the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality (log-BMI) for the Lebesque measure in dimension $n$ would imply the log-BMI and, therefore, the B-conjecture for any log-concave density in dimension $n$. As a consequence, we prove the…
We survey some interplays between spectral estimates of H\"ormander-type, degenerate Monge-Amp\`ere equations and geometric inequalities related to log-concavity such as Brunn-Minkowski, Santal\'o or Busemann inequalities.
Information based thermodynamic logic is revisited. It consists of two parts: Part A applies the modern theory of probability in which an arbitrary convex function \phi is employed as an analytic "device" to express information as…
Formalising the confrontation of opinions (models) to observations (data) is the task of Inferential Statistics. Information Theory provides us with a basic functional, the relative entropy (or Kullback-Leibler divergence), an asymmetrical…
We establish a general class of entropy inequalities that take the concise form of Gaussian comparisons. The main result unifies many classical and recent results, including the Shannon-Stam inequality, the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, the…
We study a curve of Gibbsian families of complex 3x3-matrices and point out new features, absent in commutative finite-dimensional algebras: a discontinuous maximum-entropy inference, a discontinuous entropy distance and non-exposed faces…
We consider the analysis of probability distributions through their associated covariance operators from reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We show that the von Neumann entropy and relative entropy of these operators are intimately related…
Information-theoretic measures such as relative entropy and correlation are extremely useful when modeling or analyzing the interaction of probabilistic systems. We survey the quantum generalization of 5 such measures and point out some of…
We propose a new thermodynamic, relativistic relationship between information and entropy, which is closely analogous to the classic Maxwell electro-magnetic equations. Determination of whether information resides in points of…
We establish analogues of the Bergstr\"om and Bonnesen inequalities, related to determinants and volumes respectively, for the entropy power and for the Fisher information. The obtained inequalities strengthen the well-known convolution…
This paper describes the theory of Minkowski problems for geometric measures in convex geometric analysis. The theory goes back to Minkowski and Aleksandrov and has been developed extensively in recent years. The paper surveys classical and…
We investigate quantitative implications of the notion of log-concavity through a probabilistic interpretation. In particular, we derive concentration inequalities, moment and entropy bounds for random variables satisfying a precise degree…
A function is exponentially concave if its exponential is concave. We consider exponentially concave functions on the unit simplex. In a previous paper we showed that gradient maps of exponentially concave functions provide solutions to a…
We study the log-concave measures, their characterization via the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler property and also define a subset of it whose elements are called super log-concave measures which have the property of satisfying a logarithmic Sobolev…
We consider a generic class of log-concave, possibly random, (Gibbs) measures. We prove the concentration of an infinite family of order parameters called multioverlaps. Because they completely parametrise the quenched Gibbs measure of the…
This paper is twofold. In the first part, we present a refinement of the R\'enyi Entropy Power Inequality (EPI) recently obtained in \cite{BM16}. The proof largely follows the approach in \cite{DCT91} of employing Young's convolution…
We study the dimensional Brunn-Minkowski inequality for even log-concave probability measures $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ via an analytic approach based on diffusion operators and gradient estimates. Our main result asserts that for every pair…
As was shown recently by the authors, the entropy power inequality can be reversed for independent summands with sufficiently concave densities, when the distributions of the summands are put in a special position. In this note it is proved…
We discuss the Pistone-Sempi exponential manifold on the finite-dimensional Gaussian space. We consider the role of the entropy, the continuity of translations, Poincar\'e-type inequalities, the generalized differentiability of probability…
We show that the fundamental objects of the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory, namely the $L_p$-affine surface areas for a convex body, are closely related to information theory: they are exponentials of R\'enyi divergences of the cone measures…
