The adapted Wasserstein distance is a metric for quantifying distributional uncertainty and assessing the sensitivity of stochastic optimization problems on time series data. A computationally efficient alternative to it, is provided by the…
We derive a class of divergences measuring the difference between probability density functions on the one-dimensional sample space. This divergence is a one-parameter variation of the Itakura--Saito divergence between quantile density…
We describe some analogy between optimal transport and the Schr\"odinger problem where the transport cost is replaced by an entropic cost with a reference path measure. A dual Kantorovich type formulation and a Benamou-Brenier type…
We survey several Talagrand type inequalities and their application to influences with the tool of hypercontractivity for both discrete and continuous, and product and non-product models. The approach covers similarly by a simple…
We develop a transport-entropy framework for Gaussian concentration inequalities on the infinite product space $S^{\mathbb Z^d}$, where $S$ is a finite set, in which sensitivity is measured by the $\ell^2$-norm of local oscillations. We…
We revisit entropy methods to prove new sharp trace logarithmic Sobolev and sharp Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequalities on the half space, with a focus on the entropy inequality itself and not the actual flow, allowing for somewhat…
Let $\gamma_{d}$ be the $d$-dimensional standard Gaussian measure and $\{Q_{t}\}_{t\ge 0}$ the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup acting on $L^{1}(\gamma_{d})$. We show that the hypercontractivity of $\{Q_{t}\}_{t\ge 0}$ is equivalent to the…
We study the exponential dissipation of entropic functionals for continuous time Markov chains and the associated convex Sobolev inequalities, including MLSI and Beckner inequalities. We propose a method that combines the Bakry \'Emery…
This paper is devoted to logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities in the two-dimensional Euclidean space, in presence of an external potential with logarithmic growth. The coupling with the potential introduces a new parameter,…
We give by simple arguments sufficient conditions, so called Lyapunov conditions, for Talagrand's transportation information inequality and for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. Those sufficient conditions work even in the case where the…
The classical Sobolev and Escobar inequalities are embedded into the same one-parameter family of sharp trace-Sobolev inequalities on half-spaces. Equality cases are characterized for each inequality in this family by tweaking a well-known…
In this paper we determine quantitative stability bounds for the Hessian of entropic potentials, \ie, the dual solution to the entropic optimal transport problem. To the authors' knowledge this is the first work addressing this second-order…
We introduce a non-quadratic generalization of the quantum mechanical optimal transport problem introduced in [De Palma and Trevisan, Ann. Henri Poincar\'e, {\bf 22} (2021), 3199-3234] where quantum channels realize the transport. Relying…
We consider a quantum generalization of the classical heat equation, and study contractivity properties of its associated semigroup. We prove a Nash inequality and a logarithmic Sobolev inequality. The former leads to an ultracontractivity…
We prove a one-parameter family of diffusion hypercontractivity and present the associated Log-Sobolev, Poincare and Talagrand inequalities. A mean-field type Bakry-Emery iterative calculus and volume measure based integration formula…
We prove a log-Sobolev inequality for a certain class of log-concave measures in high dimension. These are the probability measures supported on the unit cube in R^n whose density takes the form exp(-H) where the function H is assumed to be…
We prove a new version of Egorov's theorem formulated in the Schr\"{o}dinger picture of quantum mechanics, using the $p$-Wasserstein metric applied to the Husimi functions of quantum states. The special case $p=1$ corresponds to a…
We establish kinetic Hamiltonian flows in density space embedded with the $L^2$-Wasserstein metric tensor. We derive the Euler-Lagrange equation in density space, which introduces the associated Hamiltonian flows. We demonstrate that many…
Strong and general entropic and geometric Heisenberg limits are obtained, for estimates of multiparameter unitary displacements in quantum metrology, such as the estimation of a magnetic field from the induced rotation of a probe state in…
We prove that under the heat semigroup $(P_\tau)$ on the Boolean hypercube, any nonnegative function exhibits a uniform tail bound that is better than Markov's inequality. Specifically, for any $\tau > 0$, $n \geq 1$, $\eta > e^3$, and $f:…
