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…
