We prove a log-Sobolev inequality for a certain class of log-concave measures in high dimension. These are the probability measures supported on the unit cube in R^n whose density takes the form exp(-H) where the function H is assumed to be…

We investigate the quadratic Schr\"odinger bridge problem, a.k.a. Entropic Optimal Transport problem, and obtain weak semiconvexity and semiconcavity bounds on Schr\"odinger potentials under mild assumptions on the marginals that are…
We study the behaviour of various Lyapunov functionals (relative entropies) along the solutions of a family of nonlinear drift-diffusion-reaction equations coming from statistical mechanics and population dynamics. These equations can be…
We present a simple proof of the entropy-power inequality using an optimal transportation argument which takes the form of a simple change of variables. The same argument yields a reverse inequality involving a conditional differential…
In this paper, we review recent results on stability and instability in logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, with a particular emphasis on strong norms. We consider several versions of these inequalities on the Euclidean space, for the…
Let $q(x)$ and $p(x)$ denote density functions on the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, and let $p_i(\cdot|y_1,..., y_{i-1},y_{i+1},..., y_n)$ and $Q_i(\cdot|x_1,..., x_{i-1},x_{i+1},..., x_n)$ denote their local specifications. For a class…
In the setting of Carnot groups, we prove the $q-$Logarithmic Sobolev inequality for probability measures as a function of the Carnot-Carath\'eodory distance. As an application, we use the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the setting of Carnot…
We consider Talagrand-type transportation inequalities for the law of Brownian motion on Carnot groups. An important example is the lift of standard Brownian motion to the Brownian rough path. We present a direct proof on enhanced path…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, we prove transportation inequalities ${\bf T_2}(C)$ on the space of continuous paths with respect to the uniform metric for the law of the solution to a class of non-linear monotone stochastic…
In this paper, we present a simple proof of a recent result of the second author which establishes that functional inverse-Santal{\'o} inequalities follow from Entropy-Transport inequalities. Then, using transport arguments together with…
The optimal transport problem studies how to transport one measure to another in the most cost-effective way and has wide range of applications from economics to machine learning. In this paper, we introduce and study an information…
Talagrand's inequalities make a link between two fundamentals concepts of probability: transport of measures and entropy. The study of the counterpart of these inequalities in the context of free probability has been initiated by Biane and…
By using Girsanov transformation and martingale representation, Talagrand-type transportation cost inequalities, with respect to both the uniform and the $L^2$ distances on the global free path space, are established for the segment process…
We introduce a general notion of transport cost that encompasses many costs used in the literature (including the classical one and weak transport costs introduced by Talagrand and Marton in the 90's), and prove a Kantorovich type duality…
We explore alternative functional or transport-entropy formulations of the Blaschke-Santal{\'o} inequality and of its conjectured counterpart due to Mahler. In particular, we obtain new direct and reverse Blaschke-Santal{\'o} inequalities…
We establish dimension-free quantum Talagrand-type inequalities with explicit constants on the quantum Boolean cube, via a unified variance-decay perspective. For individual observables, short-time variance decay along the depolarizing…
Motivated by Talagrand's conjecture on regularization properties of the natural semigroup on the Boolean hypercube, and in particular its continuous analogue involving regularization properties of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup acting on…
This paper introduces a notion of gradient and an infimal-convolution operator that extend properties of solutions of Hamilton Jacobi equations to more general spaces, in particular to graphs. As a main application, the hypercontractivity…
