We show that Talagrand's transport inequality is equivalent to a restricted logarithmic Sobolev inequality. This result clarifies the links between these two important functional inequalities. As an application, we give the first proof of…

Various properties of isoperimetric, functional, Transport-Entropy and concentration inequalities are studied on a Riemannian manifold equipped with a measure, whose generalized Ricci curvature is bounded from below. First, stability of…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for transport-entropy inequalities in dimension one. As an application, we construct a new example of a probability distribution verifying Talagrand's T2 inequality and not the logarithmic…

We relate transport-entropy inequalities to the study of critical points of functionals defined on the space of probability measures. This approach leads in particular to a new proof of a result by Otto and Villani [43] showing that the…

We prove an Hopf-Lax-Oleinik formula for the solutions of some Hamilton- Jacobi equations on a general metric space. As a first consequence, we show in full gener- ality that the log-Sobolev inequality is equivalent to an hypercontractivity…

Following Talagrand's concentration results for permutations picked uniformly at random from a symmetric group [Tal95], Luczak and McDiarmid have generalized it to more general groups G of permutations which act suitably 'locally'. Here we…

Inspired by the recent theory of Entropy-Transport problems and by the $\mathbf{D}$-distance of Sturm on normalised metric measure spaces, we define a new class of complete and separable distances between metric measure spaces of possibly…

In this article we study generalization of the classical Talagrand transport-entropy inequality in which the Wasserstein distance is replaced by the entropic transportation cost. This class of inequalities has been introduced in the recent…

In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for Talagrand's like transportation cost inequalities on the real line. This brings a new wide class of examples of probability measures enjoying a dimension-free concentration of…

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 establish a dimension-free improvement of Talagrand's Gaussian transport-entropy inequality, under the assumption that the measures satisfy a Poincar\'e inequality. We also study stability of the inequality, in terms of relative entropy,…

We establish transportation cost inequalities, with respect to the uniform and $L_2$-metric, on the path space of continuous functions, for laws of solutions of stochastic differential equations with reflections. We also consider the case…

This note presents a sharp transport-entropy inequality that improves on Talagrand's inequality for the Gaussian measure, arising as a dual formulation of the functional Santal\'o inequality. We also discuss some extensions and connections…

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 provide deficit estimates for Nelson's hypercontractivity inequality, the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, and Talagrand's transportation cost inequality under the restriction that the inputs are semi-log-subharmonic, semi-log-convex, or…

This note reviews the studies of the last decades emphasizing a common principle based on entropy, logarithmic Sobolev inequality and hypercontractivity, behind four most celebrated inequalities by M. Talagrand: the convex distance…

We prove that the elliptic Harnack inequality (on a manifold, graph, or suitably regular metric measure space) is stable under bounded perturbations, as well as rough isometries.

We show that if the random walk on a graph has positive coarse Ricci curvature in the sense of Ollivier, then the stationary measure satisfies a W^1 transport-entropy inequality. Peres and Tetali have conjectured a stronger consequence,…

We give a new proof of the sharp symmetrized form of Talagrand's transport-entropy inequality. Compared to stochastic proofs of other Gaussian functional inequalities, the new idea here is a certain coupling induced by time-reversed…

We show that transport in the presence of entropic barriers exhibits peculiar characteristics which makes it distinctly different from that occurring through energy barriers. The constrained dynamics yields a scaling regime for the particle…
