A criterion is presented for the Modified Logarithmic Sobolev inequality on metric measure spaces. The criterion based on U-bound inequalities introduced by Hebisch and Zegarlinski allows to show the inequality for measures that go beyond…

Given $N$ i.i.d. samples from a probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbf{R}^d$, we study the rate of convergence of the empirical measure $\mu_N \to \mu$ in the negative Sobolev space $W^{-\alpha, p}$. When $W^{-\alpha, p}$ contains point…

We prove the following. Let $\mu_{1},\ldots,\mu_{n}$ be Borel probability measures on $[-1,1]$ such that $\mu_{j}$ has finite $s_j$-energy for certain indices $s_{j} \in (0,1]$ with $s_{1} + \ldots + s_{n} > 1$. Then, the multiplicative…

This paper concerns Gibbs measures $\nu$ for some nonlinear PDE over the $D$-torus ${\bf T}^D$. The Hamiltonian $H=\int_{{\bf T}^D} \Vert\nabla u\Vert^2 - \int_{{\bf T}^D} \vert u\vert^p$ has canonical equations with solutions in…

We give simple new proofs of two well-known results for the Schr\"odinger operator: first, the Brunn--Minkowski inequality for Dirichlet eigenvalues and, second, the log-concavity of the first Dirichlet eigenfunction. Our proof of the first…

In this paper we present new versions of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality for different classes of measures and sets. We show that the inequality \[ \mu(\lambda A + (1-\lambda)B)^{1/n} \geq \lambda \mu(A)^{1/n} +…

We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and concentration results for convex functions and a class of product random vectors. The results are used to derive tail and moment inequalities for chaos variables (in spirit of Talagrand and…

In this paper we develop tools for studying limit theorems by means of convexity. We establish bounds for the discrepancy in total variation between probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ such that $\nu$ is log-concave with respect to $\mu$.…

In this paper, we obtained some inequalities for \phi_{s}-convex function, \phi-Godunova-Levin function, \phi-P-function and log-\phi-convex function. Finally, we defined the class of \phi-quasi-convex functions and we examined some…

Let \(\mu\) be a finite Borel measure on \((-\pi,\pi)\). Consider the one-dimensional Poisson equation \(-u''=\mu\), where equality holds in the sense of distributions, with Dirichlet boundary conditions \(u(\pm\pi)=0\). In this paper, we…

Log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality was conjectured by Bor\"oczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang \cite{BLYZ}, and it states that a certain strengthening of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality is admissible in the case of symmetric convex sets. It…

We discuss situations where perturbing a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ does not deteriorate its Poincar\'e constant by much. A particular example is the symmetric exponential measure in $\mathbb{R}^n$, even log-concave perturbations…
