In this paper we intend to give a comprehensive approach of functional inequalities for diffusion processes under some "curvature" assumptions. Our notion of curvature coincides with the usual $\Gamma_2$ curvature of Bakry and Emery in the…
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new technique for calculation of observables, in particular multiplicity distributions, in various statistical ensembles at finite volume. The method is based on Fourier analysis of the grand…
In this paper, we propose a generalization of Bakry-\'Emery's calculus which allows us to formulate both Bakry-\'Emery and entropic curvature simultaneously. This formulation represents both curvatures as an integral of the Bochner formula…

The diffusion operator $$ H_D=-\frac12\frac d{dx}a\frac d{dx}-b\frac d{dx}=-\frac12\exp(-2B)\frac d{dx}a\exp(2B)\frac d{dx}, $$ where $B(x)=\int_0^x\frac ba(y)dy$, defined either on $R^+=(0,\infty)$ with the Dirichlet boundary condition at…
In this study we present an extension of the replicator equation with diffusion to multiplex graphs. We derive an exact formula for the diffusion term, which shows that, while diffusion is linear for numbers of agents, it is necessary to…
Within the framework of the previous paper [8]. we develop a generalized stochastic calculus for processes associated to higher order diffusion operators. Applications to the study of a Cauchy problem, a Feynman-Kac formula and a…
This paper provides closed-form expansions for the log-likelihood function of multivariate diffusions sampled at discrete time intervals. The coefficients of the expansion are calculated explicitly by exploiting the special structure…
Taylor expansions of analytic functions are considered with respect to several points, allowing confluence of any of them. Cauchy-type formulas are given for coefficients and remainders in the expansions, and the regions of convergence are…
Many important index transforms can be constructed via the spectral theory of Sturm-Liouville differential operators. Using the spectral expansion method, we investigate the general connection between the index transforms and the associated…
We revisit Villani's approach to the study of hypocoercive diffusion operators by applying a variant of the Bakry-\'Emery machinery. The method relies on a generalized Bakry-\'Emery type criterion that applies to Kolmogorov type operators.…
We obtain and study new $\Phi$-entropy inequalities for diffusion semigroups, with Poincar\'e or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities as particular cases. From this study we derive the asymptotic behaviour of a large class of linear…
