We prove a reverse form of the multidimensional Brascamp-Lieb inequality. Our method also gives a new way to derive the Brascamp-Lieb inequality and is rather convenient for the study of equality cases.
We analyze the behavior of an ensemble of inertial particles in a one-dimensional smooth Gaussian velocity field, in the limit of large inertia, but considering a finite correlation time for the random field. We derive in this limit a…
We prove various extensions of the Loomis-Whitney inequality and its dual, where the subspaces on which the projections (or sections) are considered are either spanned by vectors $w_i$ of a not necessarily orthonormal basis of…
This paper investigates the robust optimal control of sampled-data stochastic systems with multiplicative noise and distributional ambiguity. We consider a class of discrete-time optimal control problems where the controller \emph{jointly}…
In this work, we investigate how to develop sharp concentration inequalities for sub-Weibull random variables, including sub-Gaussian and sub-exponential distributions. Although the random variables may not be sub-Guassian, the tail…
Spaces of convex and concave functions appear naturally in theory and applications. For example, convex regression and log-concave density estimation are important topics in nonparametric statistics. In stochastic portfolio theory, concave…
We give a concentration inequality based on the premise that random variables take values within a particular region. The concentration inequality guarantees that, for any sequence of correlated random variables, the difference between the…
We establish a stable form of the general Euclidean Brascamp-Lieb inequality in all cases in which the Lebesgue exponents are strictly between 1 and 2, asserting that all near-extremizers are nearly Gaussian.
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…
We prove both necessary and sufficient conditions for $L^p$-bound\-ed\-ness of certain multilinear generalized Radon transforms that arise as Heisenberg group analogues of the Brascamp--Lieb inequalities on Euclidean space. The necessary…
We consider the gradient field model in $\left[ -N,N\right] ^{2}\cap \mathbb{Z}^{2}$ with a uniformly convex interaction potential. Naddaf-Spencer \cite{NS} and Miller \cite{Mi} proved that the macroscopic averages of linear statistics of…
We give a $L^2\times L^2 \rightarrow L^2$ convolution estimate for singular measures supported on transversal hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$, which improves earlier results of Bejenaru, Herr & Tataru as well as Bejenaru & Herr. The arising…

We study the concentration phenomenon for discrete-time random dynamical systems with an unbounded state space. We develop a heuristic approach towards obtaining exponential concentration inequalities for dynamical systems using an entirely…
