We prove a quantitative Sobolev inequality in cones of Bianchi-Egnell type, which implies a stability property. Our result holds for any cone as long as the minimizers of the Sobolev quotient are nondegenerate, which is the case of most…
Using calculus we show how to prove some combinatorial inequalities of the type log-concavity or log-convexity. It is shown by this method that binomial coefficients and Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds are log-concave, and…
We introduce a notion of vague convergence for random marked metric measure spaces. Our main result shows that convergence of the moments of order $k \ge 1$ of a random marked metric measure space is sufficient to obtain its vague…
In this short note we prove the logarithmic Sobolev inequality with derivatives of fractional order on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with an explicit expression for the constant. Namely, we show that for all $0<s<\frac{n}{2}$ and $a>0$ we have the…
We study hypercontractivity for the underdamped Langevin dynamics with a convex confining potential. Unlike in the overdamped case, the noise acts only on the velocity variable, so the usual argument based on the logarithmic Sobolev…
We present a probabilistic interpretation of several functional isoperimetric inequalities within the class of $p$-concave functions, building on random models for such functions introduced by P. Pivovarov and J. Rebollo-Bueno. First, we…
We study the infinite-dimensional log-Sobolev inequality for spin systems on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with interactions of power higher than quadratic. We assume that the one site measure without a boundary $e^{-\phi(x)}dx/Z$ satisfies a log-Sobolev…
We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequality for measures $$ q^n(x^n)=\text{dist}(X^n)=\exp\bigl(-V(x^n)\bigr), \quad x^n\in \Bbb R^n, $$ under the assumptions that: (i) the conditional distributions $$ Q_i(\cdot| x_j, j\neq i)=\text{dist}(X_i|…
We consider the problem of stability for the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality. Exploiting properties of the transport map between radially decreasing functions and a suitable functional version of the trace inequality, we obtain a uniform…
The sharp constants in a family of exponential Sobolev type inequalities in Gauss space are exhibited. They constitute the Gaussian analogues of the Moser inequality in the borderline case of the Sobolev embedding in the Euclidean space.…
We study convexity or concavity of certain trace functions for the deformed logarithmic and exponential functions, and obtain in this way new trace inequalities for deformed exponentials that may be considered as generalizations of…
Matrix versions of some basic convexity inequalities are given. Further results on the same topic are proved in the recent papers on arxiv: 1. Hermitian operators and convex functions, 2. A concavity inequality for symmetric norms, 3.…
We prove that any random variable $X$ whose moment generating function is point-wise upper bounded by that of $ G \sim \mathcal{N}(0,1) $ must be dominated by $ G/\mathbb{E}[|G|] $ in convex order, meaning $ \mathbb{E}[f(X)] \le…
Given a suitably normalized $X\in\mathbb{R}^n$ we observe that the function $\theta\mapsto\mathbb{E}|X\cdot\theta|$, defined for $\theta\in S^{n-1}$, admits surprisingly strong concentration far surpassing what is expected on account of…
Sharp affine Hardy--Littlewood--Sobolev inequalities for functions on $\mathbb R^n$ are established, which are significantly stronger than (and directly imply) the sharp Hardy--Littlewood--Sobolev inequalities by Lieb and by Beckner, Dou,…
We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for semi-direct product operators (see definition in Section 1). We apply our main results to examples of operators and provide some applications to ultracontractive bounds of semigroups. Hardy's…
We prove that if a triplet of functions satisfies almost equality in the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, then these functions are close to a common log-concave function, up to multiplication and rescaling. Our result holds for general…
By using a coupling method, an explicit log-Harnack inequality with local geometry quantities is established for (sub-Markovian) diffusion semigroups on a Riemannian manifold (possibly with boundary). This inequality as well as the…
This note presents families of inequalities for the Gaussian measure of convex sets which extend the recently proven Gaussian correlation inequality in various directions.
In Statistics, log-concave density estimation is a central problem within the field of nonparametric inference under shape constraints. Despite great progress in recent years on the statistical theory of the canonical estimator, namely the…
