We suggest a new way of defining optimal transport of positive-semidefinite matrix-valued measures. It is inspired by a recent rendering of the incompressible Euler equations and related conservative systems as concave maximization…
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…
Functional inequalities such as the Poincar\'e and log-Sobolev inequalities quantify convergence to equilibrium in continuous-time Markov chains by linking generator properties to variance and entropy decay. However, many applications,…
This paper is devoted to stability results for the Gaussian logarithmic Sobolev inequality, with explicit stability constants.
We provide a new characterization of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality.
We show that the Hellinger-Kantorovich distance can be expressed as the metric infimal convolution of the Hellinger and the Wasserstein distances, as conjectured by Liero, Mielke, and Savar\'e. To prove it, we study with the tools of…
This paper is devoted to logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities in the two-dimensional Euclidean space, in presence of an external potential with logarithmic growth. The coupling with the potential introduces a new parameter,…
The exponential ergodicity of partially dissipative McKean-Vlasov SDEs in the \(L^1\)-Wasserstein distance has been extensively studied using asymptotic reflection coupling. However, the reflection coupling method is not applicable for the…
By differentiating a concavity principle arising from the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, we obtain a statement simultaneously strengthening the weighted boundary Poincar\'e inequality and the Brascamp-Lieb variance inequality. The resulting…
We propose a new generalization to quantum states of the Wasserstein distance, which is a fundamental distance between probability distributions given by the minimization of a transport cost. Our proposal is the first where the transport…
We prove a Poincar\'e-Sobolev type inequality on compact Riemannian manifolds where the deviation of a function from a biased average, defined using a density, is controlled by the unweighted Lebesgue norm of its gradient. Unlike classical…
We study the transport property of Gaussian measures on Sobolev spaces of periodic functions under the dynamics of the one-dimensional cubic fractional nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation. For the case of second-order dispersion or greater,…
Let $G$ be a countable discrete group with an orthogonal representation $\alpha$ on a real Hilbert space $H$. We prove $L_p$ Poincar\'e inequalities for the group measure space $L_\infty(\Omega_H,\gamma)\rtimes G$, where both the group…
This is a continuation of our previous work 0712.4092. It is well known that various isoperimetric inequalities imply their functional ``counterparts'', but in general this is not an equivalence. We show that under certain convexity…
We prove an improved version of Poincar\'e-Hardy inequality in suitable subspaces of the Sobolev space on the hyperbolic space via Bessel pairs. As a consequence, we obtain a new Hardy type inequality with an improved constant (than the…
By adapting the mass transportation technique of Cordero-Erausquin, Nazaret and Villani, we obtain a family of sharp Sobolev and Gagliardo-Nirenberg (GN) inequalities on the half space $\mathbf{R}^{n-1}\times\mathbf{R}_+$, $n\geq 1$…
We prove, using optimal transport tools, weighted Poincar'e inequalities for log-concave random vectors satisfying some centering conditions. We recover by this way similar results by Klartag and Barthe-Cordero-Erausquin for log-concave…
We study the connection between the concavity properties of a measure $\nu$ and the convexity properties of the associated relative entropy $D(\cdot \Vert \nu)$ along optimal transport. As a corollary we prove a new dimensional…
Relative to the Gaussian measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$, entropy and Fisher information are famously related via Gross' logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI). These same functionals also separately satisfy convolution inequalities, as proved by…
Using optimal mass transport arguments, we prove weighted Sobolev inequalities of the form \[\left(\int_E |u(x)|^q\,\omega(x) \,dx\right)^{1/q}\leq K_0\,\left(\int_E |\nabla u(x)|^p\,\sigma(x)\,dx\right)^{1/p},\ \ u\in C_0^\infty(\mathbb…
