Recently Talagrand [T] estimated the deviation of a function on $\{0,1\}^n$ from its median in terms of the Lipschitz constant of a convex extension of $f$ to $\ell ^n_2$; namely, he proved that $$P(|f-M_f| > c) \le 4 e^{-t^2/4\sigma ^2}$$…

We show that a class of Poincar\'e-Wirtinger inequalities on bounded convex sets can be obtained by means of the dynamical formulation of Optimal Transport. This is a consequence of a more general result valid for convex sets, possibly…

We describe the non-backtracking spectrum of a stochastic block model with connection probabilities $p_{\mathrm{in}}, p_{\mathrm{out}} = \omega(\log n)/n$. In this regime we answer a question posed in Dall'Amico and al. (2019) regarding the…

In in this paper we establish an explicit and sharp estimate of the spectral gap (Poincar\'{e} inequality) and the transportation inequality for Gibbs measures, under the Dobrushin uniqueness condition. Moreover, we give a generalization of…

We present a novel analogue for finite exchangeable sequences of the de Finetti, Hewitt and Savage theorem and investigate its implications for multi-marginal optimal transport (MMOT) and Bayesian statistics. If $(Z_1,...,Z_N)$ is a…

We study the spectrum of the Poincar\'e operator in triaxial ellipsoids subject to a constant rotation. As explained in the paper, this mathematical problem is interesting for many physical applications. It is known that the spectrum of…

Let $\Omega$ be an arbitrary bounded domain of $\R^n$. We study the right invertibility of the divergence on $\Omega$ in weighted Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces on $\Omega$, and rely this invertibility to a geometric characterization of…

For any convex set $\Omega \subset {\mathbb R} ^N$, we provide a lower bound for the inverse of the Poincar\'e constant in $W ^ {1, 1}(\Omega)$: it refines an inequality in terms of the diameter due to Acosta-Duran, via the addition of an…

We consider the application of Koopman theory to nonlinear partial differential equations. We demonstrate that the observables chosen for constructing the Koopman operator are critical for enabling an accurate approximation to the nonlinear…

In this paper we prove that if $\Omega\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is a bounded John domain, the following weighted Poincare-type inequality holds: $$ \inf_{a\in \mathbb{R}}\| (f(x)-a) w_1(x) \|_{L^q(\Omega)} \le C \|\nabla f(x) d(x)^\alpha w_2(x)…
