We show that for any metric probability space $(M,d,\mu)$ with a subgaussian constant $\sigma^2(\mu)$ and any set $A \subset M$ we have $\sigma^2(\mu_A) \leq c \log\left(e/\mu(A)\right)\,\sigma^2(\mu)$, where $\mu_A$ is a restriction of…

Given a mean zero functional $F$ of a Poisson measure on a metric space, we apply the Malliavin-Stein method to establish sharpened second-order Poincar\'e inequalities for $F/\sqrt{\operatorname{Var} (F)}$ in terms of fourth moments of…

We present a new characterization of higher-order Sobolev spaces on the sphere. Building on the approach of Barcel\'o et al. (2020), we refine the square function they introduced for this purpose. In particular, we provide a detailed…

Consider a measure $\mu_\lambda = \sum_x \xi_x \delta_x$ where the sum is over points $x$ of a Poisson point process of intensity $\lambda$ on a bounded region in $d$-space, and $\xi_x$ is a functional determined by the Poisson points near…

We consider the approximation of a convolution of possibly different probability measures by (compound) Poisson distributions and also by related signed measures of higher order. We present new total variation bounds having a better…

U-statistics of spatial point processes given by a density with respect to a Poisson process are investigated. In the first half of the paper general relations are derived for the moments of the functionals using kernels from the Wiener-Ito…

We employ a Markov semigroup approach combined with the $\Gamma$-calculus to establish a generalized Beckner inequality associated with weighted Gaussian measures. As a direct consequence, we derive the corresponding Poincar\'e inequality…

Concentration of measure has been argued to be the fundamental cause of adversarial vulnerability. Mahloujifar et al. presented an empirical way to measure the concentration of a data distribution using samples, and employed it to find…

Let $\mathbb{H}^{n}=\mathbb{C}^{n}\times\mathbb{R}$ be the $n$-dimensional Heisenberg group, $Q=2n+2$ be the homogeneous dimension of $\mathbb{H}^{n}$. We extend the well-known concentration-compactness principle on finite domains in the…

Let q^n be a continuous density function in n-dimensional Euclidean space. We think of q^n as the density function of some random sequence X^n with values in \BbbR^n. For I\subset[1,n], let X_I denote the collection of coordinates X_i, i\in…
