Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two probability measures on $\R^d$, where $\mu(\d x)= \e^{-V(x)}\d x$ for some $V\in C^1(\R^d)$. Explicit sufficient conditions on $V$ and $\nu$ are presented such that $\mu*\nu$ satisfies the log-Sobolev, Poincar\'e…
We derive the isoperimetric profile of Gaussian type for an absolutely continuous probability measure on Euclidean spaces with respect to the Lebesgue measure, whose density is a radial function.The key is a generalization of the Poincar\'e…
This expository note aims at illustrating weak convergence of probability measures from a broader view than a previously published paper. Though the results are standard for functional analysts, this approach is rarely known by…
Kolmogorov's exponential inequalities are basic tools for studying the strong limit theorems such as the classical laws of the iterated logarithm for both independent and dependent random variables. This paper establishes the Kolmogorov…
Topological measures and deficient topological measures are defined on open and closed subsets of a topological space, generalize regular Borel measures, and correspond to (non-linear in general) functionals that are linear on singly…
We show that every symmetric random variable with log-concave tails satisfies the convex infimum convolution inequality with an optimal cost function (up to scaling). As a result, we obtain nearly optimal comparison of weak and strong…
We establish a new global endpoint Sobolev inequality for measures that extends the classical theorem of Meyers-Ziemer by placing a maximal function on the right-hand side. This result has several significant consequences. It extends…
We prove, using elementary methods of complex analysis, the following generalization of the isoperimetric inequality: if $p\in\re$, $\Omega\subset\re^2$ then the inequality $$…
In this paper, we investigate the reverse improvement property of Sobolev inequalities on manifolds with quadratically decaying Ricci curvature. Specifically, we establish conditions under which the uniform decay of the heat kernel implies…
We study isoperimetric inequalities on "slabs", namely weighted Riemannian manifolds obtained as the product of the uniform measure on a finite length interval with a codimension-one base. As our two main applications, we consider the case…
M. Gromov introduced the Lipschitz order relation on the set of metric measure spaces and developed a rich theory. In particular, he claimed that an isoperimetric inequality on a non-discrete space is represented by using the Lipschitz…
Moment inequalities play important roles in probability limit theory and mathematical statistics. In this work, the von Bahr-Esseen type inequality for extended negatively dependent random variables under sub-linear expectations is…
We examine the concentration of uniform generalization errors around their expectation in binary linear classification problems via an isoperimetric argument. In particular, we establish Poincar\'{e} and log-Sobolev inequalities for the…
By weakly measuring the polarization of a photon between two strong polarization measurements, we experimentally investigate the correlation between the appearance of anomalous values in quantum weak measurements, and the violation of…
The Leggett-Garg Inequality (LGI) constrains, under certain fundamental assumptions, the correlations between measurements of a quantity Q at different times. Here we analyze the LGI, and propose similar but somewhat more elaborate…
We investigate the use of a certain class of functional inequalities known as weak Poincar\'e inequalities to bound convergence of Markov chains to equilibrium. We show that this enables the straightforward and transparent derivation of…
We consider a generic class of log-concave, possibly random, (Gibbs) measures. We prove the concentration of an infinite family of order parameters called multioverlaps. Because they completely parametrise the quenched Gibbs measure of the…
We introduce the notion of weak commensurabilty of arithmetic subgroups and relate it to the length equivalence and isospectrality of locally symmetric spaces. We prove many strong consequences of weak commensurabilty and derive from these…
This paper studies anchored expansion, a non-uniform version of the strong isoperimetric inequality. We show that every graph with i-anchored expansion contains a subgraph with isoperimetric (Cheeger) constant at least i. We prove a…
We give a qualitative description of extremals for Morrey's inequality. Our theory is based on exploiting the invariances of this inequality, studying the equation satisfied by extremals and the observation that extremals are optimal for a…
