The paper reexamines an argument by Talagrand that leads to a remarkable exponential tail bound for the concentration of probability near a set. The main novelty is the replacement of a mysterious Calculus inequality by an application of…
We derive weighted log-Sobolev inequalities from a class of super Poincar\'e inequalities. As an application, the Talagrand inequality with larger distances are obtained. In particular, on a complete connected Riemannian manifold, we prove…
A classical first-order Hardy-Sobolev inequality in Euclidean domains, involving weighted norms depending on powers of the distance function from their boundary, is known to hold for every, but one, value of the power. We show that, by…
The hypercontractive inequality is a fundamental result in analysis, with many applications throughout discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science, combinatorics and more. So far, variants of this inequality have been proved mainly…
Every Boolean function can be uniquely represented as a multilinear polynomial. The entropy and the total influence are two ways to measure the concentration of its Fourier coefficients, namely the monomial coefficients in this…
It is well known that some important Markov semi-groups have a "regularization effect" -- as for example the hypercontractivity property of the noise operator on the Boolean hypercube or the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semi-group on the real line,…
We derive inequality [\int_{\r} |f^{'}(x)|^ph(f(x))dx \le (\sqrt{p-1})^p\int_{\r}(\sqrt{|f^{"}(x){\cal T}_h(f(x))|})^ph(f(x))dx,] where $f$ belongs locally to Sobolev space $W^{2,1}$ and $f^{'}$ has bounded support. Here $h(...)$ is a given…
We study the connection between the $p$--Talagrand inequality and the $q$--logarithmic Sololev inequality for conjugate exponents $p\geq 2$, $q\leq 2$ in proper geodesic metric spaces. By means of a general Hamilton--Jacobi semigroup we…
In this note we bound the deficit in the logarithmic Sobolev Inequality and in the Talagrand transport-entropy Inequality for the Gaussian measure, in any dimension, by mean of a distance introduced by Bucur and Fragal\`a.
In the second part of this work was developed a technique of balayage of finite genus $q=0,1,2,\dots$ for measures (charges) and ($\delta$-) subharmonic functions of finite order to an arbitrary closed system of rays $S$ with vertex at…
We consider a generic modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality (mLSI) of the form $\mathrm{Ent}_{\mu}(e^f) \le \tfrac{\rho}{2} \mathbb{E}_\mu e^f \Gamma(f)^2$ for some difference operator $\Gamma$, and show how it implies two-level…
For $c\in(1,2)$ we consider the following operators \[ \mathcal{C}_{c}f(x) = \sup_{\lambda \in [-1/2,1/2)}\bigg| \sum_{n \neq 0}f(x-n) \frac{e^{2\pi i\lambda \lfloor |n|^{c} \rfloor}}{n}\bigg|\text{,}\quad \mathcal{C}^{\mathsf{sgn}}_{c}f(x)…
The main aim of this paper is to study the functional inequality \begin{equation*} \int_{[0,1]}f\bigl((1-t)x+ty\bigr)d\mu(t)\geq 0, \qquad x,y\in I \mbox{ with } x<y, \end{equation*} for a continuous unknown function $f:I\to{\mathbb R}$,…
Addition theorems are principal tools that express a function $f (\bm{r} \pm \bm{r}')$ in terms of products of other functions that only depend on either $\bm{r}$ or $\bm{r}'$. The best known example of such an addition theorem is the…
Previously, we developed the technique of balayage of measures or charges and ($\delta$-)subharmonic functions of finite order onto an closed system of rays $S$ with a vertex at zero on the complex plane $\mathbb C$. In this article, we use…
We introduce a new sparse $T1$ theorem that estimates the dual pair associated with a Calderon-Zygmund operator by a sub-bilinear form supported on a sparse family of cubes. The main result in the paper improves previous sparse $T1$…
We present an improved version of the second order Gaussian Poincar\'e inequality, firstly introduced in Chatterjee (2009) and Nourdin, Peccati and Reinert (2009). These novel estimates are used in order to bound distributional distances…
Under the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup $\{U_t\}$, any non-negative measurable $f : \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R_+$ exhibits a uniform tail bound better than that implied by Markov's inequality and conservation of mass: For every $\alpha \geq…

We give a domination condition implying good-$\lambda$ and exponential inequalities for couples of measurable functions. Those inequalities recover several classical and new estimations involving some operators in Harminic Analysis. Among…
