This work is devoted to direct mass transportation proofs of families of functional inequalities in the context of one-dimensional free probability, avoiding random matrix approximation. The inequalities include the free form of the…

Let $(T,{\cal F},\mu)$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure space, $E$ a separable real Banach space and $p\geq 1$. Given a sequence of functions $f, f_1, f_2,...$ from $T\times E$ to ${\bf R}$, under general assumptions, we prove that, for each…

We construct infinitely many incompressible Sobolev vector fields $u \in C_t W^{1,\tilde p}_x$ on the periodic domain $\mathbb{T}^d$ for which uniqueness of solutions to the transport equation fails in the class of densities $\rho \in C_t…

Let $U\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}$ be open and convex. We show that every (not necessarily Lipschitz or strongly) convex function $f:U\to\mathbb{R}$ can be approximated by real analytic convex functions, uniformly on all of $U$. In doing so we…

If one thinks of a Riemannian metric, $g_1$, analogously as the gradient of the corresponding distance function, $d_1$, with respect to a background Riemannian metric, $g_0$, then a natural question arises as to whether a corresponding…

We prove a sharp global $W^{2,\,p}$ estimate for potentials of optimal transport maps that take a certain class of non-convex planar domains to convex ones.

We consider the transport equation $\ppp_t u(x,t) + H(t)\cdot \nabla u(x,t) = 0$ in $\OOO\times(0,T),$ where $T>0$ and $\OOO\subset \R^d $ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary $\ppp\OOO$. First, we prove a Carleman estimate for…

We study fine P\'olya-Szeg\H{o} rearrangement inequalities into weighted intervals for Sobolev functions and functions of bounded variation defined on metric measure spaces supporting an isoperimetric inequality. We then specialize this…

We prove that for a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, the Poincar\'e inequality for convex functions is equivalent to the weak transportation inequality with a quadratic-linear cost. This generalizes recent results by Gozlan et al. and…

We study an entropic optimal transport problem in which the transport plan is penalized by a nonlinear convex functional acting on the coupling. We establish existence, uniqueness, and uniform a priori bounds for minimizers, and we show…

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…

By using optimal mass transport theory we prove a sharp isoperimetric inequality in ${\sf CD} (0,N)$ metric measure spaces assuming an asymptotic volume growth at infinity. Our result extends recently proven isoperimetric inequalities for…

For a function $f$ from the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(C)$ ($C\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is an open convex cone), a sharp inequality that estimates $\| f\|_{L_{\infty}}$ via the $L_{p}$-norm of its gradient and a seminorm of the function is obtained.…

We define a class of divergences to measure differences between probability density functions in one-dimensional sample space. The construction is based on the convex function with the Jacobi operator of mapping function that pushforwards…

We give an alternative proof of the Michael-Simon-Sobolev inequality using techniques from optimal transport. The inequality is sharp for submanifolds of codimension $2$.

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 derive transport-entropy inequalities for mixed binomial point processes, and for Poisson point processes. We show that when the finite intensity measure satisfies a Talagrand transport inequality, the law of the point process also…

Here is a sample of the results proved in this paper: Let $f:{\bf R}\to {\bf R}$ be a continuous function, let $\rho>0$ and let $\omega:[0,\rho[\to [0,+\infty[$ be a continuous increasing function such that $\lim_{\xi\to…

We completely characterize the validity of the inequality $\|u\|_{Y(\mathbb{R}^n)}\leq C \|\nabla^m u\|_{X(\mathbb{R}^n)}$, where $X$ and $Y$ are rearrangement-invariant spaces, by reducing it to a considerably simpler one-dimensional…

We find sufficient conditions for a probability measure $\mu$ to satisfy an inequality of the type $$ \int_{\R^d} f^2 F\Bigl(\frac{f^2}{\int_{\R^d} f^2 d \mu} \Bigr) d \mu \le C \int_{\R^d} f^2 c^{*}\Bigl(\frac{|\nabla f|}{|f|} \Bigr) d \mu…
