Recently, Dolbeault-Esteban-Figalli-Frank-Loss [20] established the optimal stability of the first-order $L^2$-Sobolev inequality with dimension-dependent constant. Subsequently, Chen-Lu-Tang [18] obtained the optimal stability for the…
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…

We prove an intrinsic equivalence between strong hypercontractivity and a strong logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the cone of logarithmically subharmonic functions. We introduce a new large class of measures, Euclidean regular and…
We prove a curvature-dimension criterion and obtain logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for generalised Cauchy measures with optimal weights and explicit constants. In the one-dimensional case, this constant is even optimal. From these…
We develop the optimal transportation approach to modified log-Sobolev inequalities and to isoperimetric inequalities. Various sufficient conditions for such inequalities are given. Some of them are new even in the classical log-Sobolev…
In this article, we study the mean field limit of weakly interacting diffusions for confining and interaction potentials that are not necessarily convex. We explore the relationship between the large $N$ limit of the constant in the…
It is well-known that measures whose density is the form $e^{-V}$ where $V$ is a uniformly convex potential on $\RR^n$ attain strong concentration properties. In search of a notion of log-concavity on the discrete hypercube, we consider…
In this paper, we review recent results on stability and instability in logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, with a particular emphasis on strong norms. We consider several versions of these inequalities on the Euclidean space, for the…
In this article we consider a lattice system of unbounded continuos spins. Otto & Reznikoff used the two-scale approach to show that exponential decay of correlations yields a logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) with uniform constant in…
In this paper, we establish a new improved Sobolev inequality based on a weighted Morrey space. To be precise, there exists $C=C(n,m,s,\alpha)>0$ such that for any $u,v \in {\dot{H}}^s(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ and for any $\theta \in…
In this note, we derive a new logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the heat kernel on the Heisenberg group. The proof is inspired from the historical method of Leonard Gross with the Central Limit Theorem for a random walk. Here the non…
We are concerned with the homogenization of second-order linear elliptic equations with random coefficient fields. For symmetric coefficient fields with only short-range correlations, quantified through a logarithmic Sobolev inequality for…
In this paper we make a survey of some recent developments of the theory of Sobolev spaces $W^{1,q}(X,\sfd,\mm)$, $1<q<\infty$, in metric measure spaces $(X,\sfd,\mm)$. In the final part of the paper we provide a new proof of the…
We develop the notions of hypercontractivity (HC) and the log-Sobolev (LS) inequality for completely bounded norms of one-parameter semigroups of super-operators acting on matrix algebras. We prove the equivalence of the completely bounded…
Low-rank tensor methods for the approximate solution of second-order elliptic partial differential equations in high dimensions have recently attracted significant attention. A critical issue is to rigorously bound the error of such…
We extend recent higher order concentration results in the discrete setting to include functions of possibly dependent variables whose distribution (on the product space) satisfies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality with respect to a…
The study of Sobolev inequalities can be divided in two cases: p = 1 and 1 < p < +$\infty$. In the case p = 1 we study here a relaxed version of refined Sobolev inequalities. When p > 1, using as base space classical Lorentz spaces…
We consider the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality on mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces. We give a complete characterization of indices $\vec p$ and $\vec q$ such that the Riesz potential is bounded from $L^{\vec p}$ to $L^{\vec q}$, including…
The Bakry-\'Emery $\Gamma_2$ criterion inequality provides a method for establishing the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We prove a one-parameter family of weighted Bakry-\'Emery $\Gamma_2$ criterion inequalities which in the limit case…
