Log-Sobolev inequalities (LSIs) upper-bound entropy via a multiple of the Dirichlet form (i.e. norm of a gradient). In this paper we prove a family of entropy-energy inequalities for the binary hypercube which provide a non-linear…

For $n > k \geq 0$, $\lambda >0$, and $p, r>1$, we establish the following optimal Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality \[ \Big| \iint_{\mathbf R^n \times \mathbf R^{n-k}} \frac{f(x) g(y)}{ |x-y|^\lambda |y"|^\beta} dx dy \Big| \lesssim \| f…

The Boltzmann-Gibbs celebrated entropy $S_{BG}=-k\sum_ip_i \ln p_i$ is {\it concave} (with regard to all probability distributions $\{p_i\}$) and {\it stable} (under arbitrarily small deformations of any given probability distribution). It…

In this paper, we apply the so-called Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci (ABP) method to establish some geometric inequalities. We first prove a logarithmic Sobolev inequality for closed $n$-dimensional minimal submanifolds $\Sigma$ of $\mathbb…

We show that the modified log-Sobolev constant for a natural Markov chain which converges to an $r$-homogeneous strongly log-concave distribution is at least $1/r$. Applications include a sharp mixing time bound for the bases-exchange walk…

Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities are a powerful way to estimate the rate of convergence of Markov chains and to derive concentration inequalities on distributions. We prove that the log-Sobolev constant of any isotropic logconcave density…

We study a class of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities with a general form of the energy functional. The class generalizes various examples of modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities considered previously in the literature. Refining a…

We develop a new framework for establishing approximate factorization of entropy on arbitrary probability spaces, using a geometric notion known as non-negative sectional curvature. The resulting estimates are equivalent to entropy…

We show that a strong version of the Brascamp--Lieb inequality for symmetric log-concave measure with $\alpha$-homogeneous potential $V$ is equivalent to a $p$-Brunn--Minkowski inequality for level sets of $V$ with some $p(\alpha,n)<0$. We…

This note is devoted to the proof of convex Sobolev (or generalized Poincar\'{e}) inequalities which interpolate between spectral gap (or Poincar\'{e}) inequalities and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. We extend to the whole family of…

We develop a geometric and analytic framework for polynomial partial differential equations posed on thin annuli in the plane. Using renormalized Sobolev inner products, we construct Sobolev orthogonal polynomial bases adapted to the thin…

Building on the inequalities for homogeneous tetrahedral polynomials in independent Gaussian variables due to R. Lata{\l}a we provide a concentration inequality for non-necessarily Lipschitz functions $f\colon \R^n \to \R$ with bounded…

We study the stability and instability of the Gaussian logarithmic Sobolev inequality, in terms of covariance, Wasserstein distance and Fisher information, addressing several open questions in the literature. We first establish an improved…

It is shown that the restriction of a polynomial to a sphere satisfies a Logvinenko-Sereda-Kovrijkine type inequality (a specific type of uncertainty relation). This implies a spectral inequality for the Laplace-Beltrami operator, which, in…

The goal of this paper is to give a non-local sufficient condition for generalized Poincar\'e inequalities, which extends the well-known Bakry-Emery condition. Such generalized Poincar\'e inequalities have been introduced by W. Beckner in…

If Poincar{\'e} inequality has been studied by Bobkov for radial measures, few is known about the logarithmic Sobolev inequalty in the radial case. We try to fill this gap here using different methods: Bobkov's argument and…

We consider an elliptic Kolmogorov equation $\lambda u - Ku = f$ in a separable Hilbert space $H$. The Kolmogorov operator $K$ is associated to an infinite dimensional convex gradient system: $dX = (AX - DU(X))dt + dW (t)$, where $A $ is a…
