We strengthen Han's Fourier entropy-influence inequality $$ H[\widehat{f}] \leq C_{1}I(f) + C_{2}\sum_{i\in [n]}I_{i}(f)\ln\frac{1}{I_{i}(f)} $$ originally proved for $\{-1,1\}$-valued Boolean functions with $C_{1}=3+2\ln 2$ and $C_{2}=1$.…

Let $S_N$ be the sum of vector-valued functions defined on a finite Markov chain. An analogue of the Bernstein--Hoeffding inequality is derived for the probability of large deviations of $S_N$ and relates the probability to the spectral gap…

We prove various extensions of the Loomis-Whitney inequality and its dual, where the subspaces on which the projections (or sections) are considered are either spanned by vectors $w_i$ of a not necessarily orthonormal basis of…

This note explores uncertainty inequalities for quantum analogues of the Fisher information including the Wigner-Yanase skew information, and their connection to the quantum Sobolev inequalities proved by the author in [Journal of…

These notes pose a "proof challenge": a proof, or disproof, of the proposition that "For any given body of information, I, expressed as a one-dimensional sequence of atomic symbols, a multiple alignment concept, described in the document,…

We show that Shannon's entropy--power inequality admits a strengthened version in the case in which the densities are log-concave. In such a case, in fact, one can extend the Blachman--Stam argument to obtain a sharp inequality for the…

We give a short proof of a slightly weaker version of the multilinear Kakeya inequality proven by Bennett, Carbery, and Tao.

For a wide range of pairs of mixed norm spaces such that one space is contained in another, we characterize all cases when contractive norm inequalities hold. In particular, this yields such results for many pairs of weighted Bergman…

In this paper we obtain quite general and definitive forms for Hardy-Littlewood type inequalities. Moreover, when restricted to the original particular cases, our approach provides much simpler and straightforward proofs and we are able to…

We prove a new vectorial functional inequality of Poincar\'{e}-Beckner type. The inequality may be interpreted as an entropy-entropy production one for a gradient flow in the metric space of Radon measures. The proof uses subtle analysis of…

We prove a one-dimensional Hardy inequality on the halfline with sharp constant, which improves the classical form of this inequality. As a consequence of this new inequality we can rederive known doubly weighted Hardy inequalities. Our…

We prove the stronger version of Harnack's inequality for positive harmonic functions defined on the unit disc.

We give a proof of a result of Bonet, Engli\v{s} and Taskinen filling in several details and correcting some flaws.

Log-Sobolev inequalities (LSIs) upper-bound entropy via a multiple of the Dirichlet form (i.e. norm of a gradient). In this paper we prove a family of entropy-energy inequalities for the binary hypercube which provide a non-linear…

Various miscellaneous functional inequalities are deduced for the so-called generalized inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. For instance, functional inequalities for sums, difference and quotient of generalized inverse…

We develop the notions of hypercontractivity (HC) and the log-Sobolev (LS) inequality for completely bounded norms of one-parameter semigroups of super-operators acting on matrix algebras. We prove the equivalence of the completely bounded…

A new information-theoretic approach to the central limit theorem for stable laws is presented. The main novelty is the concept of relative fractional Fisher information, which shares most of the properties of the classical one, included…

In this paper, we will prove several new inequalities of Hardy's types with explicit constants. The main results will be proved by making use of some generalizations of Opial's type inequalities and H\"older's inequality. To the best of the…

We use Kor\'anyi--Reimann complex cross--ratios to prove the Ptolemaean inequality and the Theorem of Ptolemaeus in the setting of the boundary of complex hyperbolic space and the first Heisenberg group.

We derive a relative version of the slicing Bennequin inequalities for cobordant Legendrian knots, and review a few proofs of the result.
