In the conformal class of the standard metric on the $3$-sphere, we prove a quantitative refinement of the Andrews-De Lellis-Topping inequality in terms of a two-term distance to the set of minimizing conformal factors. This inequality is…

We prove a sharp, dimension-free stability result for the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality for a two parameter family of functions. Roughly speaking, our family consists of a certain class of log $C^{1,1}$ functions. Moreover, we…

We develop in this paper an amelioration of the method given by S. Bobkov and M. Ledoux in GAFA (2000). We prove by Prekopa-Leindler Theorem an optimal modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality adapted for all log-concave measure on $\dR^n$.…

We develop a general framework to study concavity properties of weighted marginals of $\beta$-concave functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ via local methods. As a concrete implementation of our approach, we obtain a functional version of the…

We generalize the classical Hardy and Faber-Krahn inequalities to arbitrary functions on a convex body $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, not necessarily vanishing on the boundary $\partial \Omega$. This reduces the study of the Neumann…

In this note we establish some rigidity and stability results for Caffarelli's log-concave perturbation theorem. As an application we show that if a 1-log-concave measure has almost the same Poincar\'e constant as the Gaussian measure, then…

We prove a quantitative stability result for the Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl inequality. This yields next and next-to-next order correction terms, sharpening the inequality in all dimensions.

Although convolution on Euclidean space and the Heisenberg group satisfy the same $L^p$ bounds with the same optimal constants, the former has maximizers while the latter does not. However, as work of Christ has shown, it is still possible…

We study the approximation of arbitrary distributions $P$ on $d$-dimensional space by distributions with log-concave density. Approximation means minimizing a Kullback--Leibler-type functional. We show that such an approximation exists if…

In a recent work, Bo'az Klartag showed that, given a convex body with minimal volume product, its isotropic constant is related to its volume product. As a consequence, he obtained that a strong version of the slicing conjecture implies…

An inequality of Brascamp and Lieb provides a bound on the covariance of two functions with respect to log-concave measures. The bound estimates the covariance by the product of the $L^2$ norms of the gradients of the functions, where the…

The Riesz-Sobolev inequality relates the convolution of nonnegative functions on Euclidean space to the convolution of their symmetric nonincreasing rearrangements. We show that for dimension one, for indicator functions of sets, if the…
