The aim of this paper is to study the spectral gap and the logarithmic Sobolev constant for continuous spin systems. A simple but general result for estimating the spectral gap of finite dimensional systems is given by Theorem 1.1, in terms…
A basic problem of approximation theory, the approximation of functions from the Sobolev space W_p^r([0,1]^d) in the norm of L_q([0,1]^d), is considered from the point of view of quantum computation. We determine the quantum query…
A set of functional inequalities - called Nash inequalities - are introduced and analyzed in the context of quantum Markov process mixing. The basic theory of Nash inequalities is extended to the setting of non-commutative Lp spaces, where…

This paper deals with fractional Sobolev spaces on a compact Riemannian manifold. We prove a Sobolev inequality in the critical range with an optimal constant for these fractional Sobolev spaces. We use this result to study the existence of…
We study the relations between (tight) logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, entropy decay and spectral gap inequalities for Markov evolutions on von Neumann algebras. We prove that log-Sobolev inequalities (in the non-commutative form defined…
We prove a sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequality which holds for submanifolds in Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension and codimension. Like the Michael-Simon Sobolev inequality, this inequality includes a term involving the mean curvature.
We study logarithmic Sobolev inequalities with respect to a heat kernel measure on finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional Heisenberg groups. Such a group is the simplest non-trivial example of a sub-Riemannian manifold. First we…
We study hypercontractivity for the underdamped Langevin dynamics with a convex confining potential. Unlike in the overdamped case, the noise acts only on the velocity variable, so the usual argument based on the logarithmic Sobolev…
We consider the class of Davies quantum semigroups modelling thermalization for translation-invariant Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes in D dimensions. We prove that conditions of Dobrushin-Shlosman-type on the quantum Gibbs state imply a…
The hypercontractivity inequality for the qubit depolarizing channel $\Psi_t$ states that $\|\Psi_t^{\otimes n}(X)\|_p\leq \|X\|_q$ provided that $p\geq q> 1$ and $t\geq \ln \sqrt{\frac{p-1}{q-1}}$. In this paper we present an improvement…
On a stratified Lie group $G$ equipped with hypoelliptic heat kernel measure, we study the behavior of the dilation semigroup on $L^p$ spaces of log-subharmonic functions. We consider a notion of strong hypercontractivity and a strong…
We study the speed of convergence of a primitive quantum time evolution towards its fixed point in the distance of sandwiched R\'enyi divergences. For each of these distance measures the convergence is typically exponentially fast and the…
We derive sufficient conditions for a probability measure on a finite product space (a spin system) to satisfy a (modified) logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We establish these conditions for various examples, such as the (vertex-weighted)…
We investigate the metastable behavior of reversible Markov chains on possibly countable infinite state spaces. Based on a new definition of metastable Markov processes, we compute precisely the mean transition time between metastable sets.…
We study a class of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities with a general form of the energy functional. The class generalizes various examples of modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities considered previously in the literature. Refining a…
Lieb-Robinson bounds show that the speed of propagation of information under the Heisenberg dynamics in a wide class of non-relativistic quantum lattice systems is essentially bounded. We review work of the past dozen years that has turned…
In this work, we establish a mixed local--nonlocal Sobolev-type inequality in the Heisenberg group and demonstrate that its extremals coincide with solutions to the corresponding mixed local--nonlocal singular $p$-Laplace equations. We…
We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for semi-direct product operators (see definition in Section 1). We apply our main results to examples of operators and provide some applications to ultracontractive bounds of semigroups. Hardy's…
In this note, we derive a new logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the heat kernel on the Heisenberg group. The proof is inspired from the historical method of Leonard Gross with the Central Limit Theorem for a random walk. Here the non…
