Bounds on information combining are entropic inequalities that determine how the information, or entropy, of a set of random variables can change when they are combined in certain prescribed ways. Such bounds play an important role in…

The entropy power inequality (EPI) provides lower bounds on the differential entropy of the sum of two independent real-valued random variables in terms of the individual entropies. Versions of the EPI for discrete random variables have…

Determining the ultimate classical information carrying capacity of electromagnetic waves requires quantum-mechanical analysis to properly account for the bosonic nature of these waves. Recent work has established capacity theorems for…

The entropy accumulation theorem, and its subsequent generalized version, is a powerful tool in the security analysis of many device-dependent and device-independent cryptography protocols. However, it has the drawback that the finite-size…

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…

In this paper we study certain properties of R\'{e}nyi entropy functionals $H_\alpha(\mathcal{P})$ on the space of probability distributions over $\mathbb{Z}_+$. Primarily, continuity and convergence issues are addressed. Some properties…

We investigate quantum R\'enyi entropic quantities, specifically those derived from 'sandwiched' divergence. This divergence is one of several proposed R\'enyi generalisations of the quantum relative entropy. We may define R\'enyi…

Following Talagrand's concentration results for permutations picked uniformly at random from a symmetric group [Tal95], Luczak and McDiarmid have generalized it to more general groups G of permutations which act suitably 'locally'. Here we…

We investigate the R\'enyi entropy of independent sums of integer valued random variables through Fourier theoretic means, and give sharp comparisons between the variance and the R\'enyi entropy, for Poisson-Bernoulli variables. As…

Numerous entropy-type characteristics (functionals) generalizing R\'enyi entropy are widely used in mathematical statistics, physics, information theory, and signal processing for characterizing uncertainty in probability distributions and…

R\'enyi entropies are conceptually valuable and experimentally relevant generalisations of the celebrated von Neumann entanglement entropy. After a quantum quench in a clean quantum many-body system they generically display a universal…

Entropic cosmology with the R\'{e}nyi entropy of the apparent horizon $S_R=(1/\alpha)\ln(1+\alpha S_{BH})$, where $S_{BH}$ is the Bekenstein--Hawking entropy, is studied. By virtue of the thermodynamics-gravity correspondence a model of…

The paper establishes the equality condition in the I-MMSE proof of the entropy power inequality (EPI). This is done by establishing an exact expression for the deficit between the two sides of the EPI. Interestingly, a necessary condition…

We prove R\'enyi entropic inequalities in a holographic setup based on the recent proposal for the holographic formula of R\'enyi entropies when the bulk is stable against any perturbation. Regarding the R\'enyi parameter as an inverse…
