We derive transport-entropy inequalities for mixed binomial point processes, and for Poisson point processes. We show that when the finite intensity measure satisfies a Talagrand transport inequality, the law of the point process also…
Talagrand's inequalities make a link between two fundamentals concepts of probability: transport of measures and entropy. The study of the counterpart of these inequalities in the context of free probability has been initiated by Biane and…
We give a characterization of transport-entropy inequalities in metric spaces. As an application we deduce that such inequalities are stable under bounded perturbation (Holley-Stroock perturbation Lemma).
Various properties of isoperimetric, functional, Transport-Entropy and concentration inequalities are studied on a Riemannian manifold equipped with a measure, whose generalized Ricci curvature is bounded from below. First, stability of…
Initially motivated by the study of the non-asymptotic properties of non-parametric tests based on permutation methods, concentration inequalities for uniformly permuted sums have been largely studied in the literature. Recently, Delyon et…
Lower bounds for the R\'enyi entropies of sums of independent random variables taking values in cyclic groups of prime order under permutations are established. The main ingredients of our approach are extended rearrangement inequalities in…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for transport-entropy inequalities in dimension one. As an application, we construct a new example of a probability distribution verifying Talagrand's T2 inequality and not the logarithmic…
We show that if the random walk on a graph has positive coarse Ricci curvature in the sense of Ollivier, then the stationary measure satisfies a W^1 transport-entropy inequality. Peres and Tetali have conjectured a stronger consequence,…
In this article we study generalization of the classical Talagrand transport-entropy inequality in which the Wasserstein distance is replaced by the entropic transportation cost. This class of inequalities has been introduced in the recent…
We obtain new transport-entropy inequalities and, as a by-product, new deviation estimates for the laws of two kinds of discrete stochastic approximation schemes. The first one refers to the law of an Euler like discretization scheme of a…
We develop transportation-entropy inequalities which are saturated for measures such that their log-density with respect to the background measure is an affine function, in the setting of the uniform measure on the discrete hypercube and…
We study the concentration phenomenon for discrete-time random dynamical systems with an unbounded state space. We develop a heuristic approach towards obtaining exponential concentration inequalities for dynamical systems using an entirely…
We study concentration properties for laws of non-linear Gaussian functionals on metric spaces. Our focus lies on measures with non-Gaussian tail behaviour which are beyond the reach of Talagrand's classical Transportation-Cost Inequalities…
We show that Talagrand's transport inequality is equivalent to a restricted logarithmic Sobolev inequality. This result clarifies the links between these two important functional inequalities. As an application, we give the first proof of…
One way to define the concentration of measure phenomenon is via Talagrand inequalities, also called transportation-information inequalities. That is, a comparison of the Wasserstein distance from the given measure to any other absolutely…
We relate transport-entropy inequalities to the study of critical points of functionals defined on the space of probability measures. This approach leads in particular to a new proof of a result by Otto and Villani [43] showing that the…
We prove Gaussian concentration inequalities for maximal displacement of compactly supported random walks on a compactly generated locally compact group with polynomial growth. Concentration inequalities with different exponents hold for…
We establish transportation cost inequalities (TCI) with respect to the quantum Wasserstein distance by introducing quantum extensions of well-known classical methods: first, using a non-commutative version of Ollivier's coarse Ricci…
This note presents a sharp transport-entropy inequality that improves on Talagrand's inequality for the Gaussian measure, arising as a dual formulation of the functional Santal\'o inequality. We also discuss some extensions and connections…
The fundamental inequality of Guivarc'h relates the entropy and the drift of random walks on groups. It is strict if and only if the random walk does not behave like the uniform measure on balls. We prove that, in any nonelementary…
