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…
In a 2013 paper, the author showed that the convolution of a compactly supported measure on the real line with a Gaussian measure satisfies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI). In a 2014 paper, the author gave bounds for the optimal…
This work studies mixtures of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and gives bounds on the Poincar\'e and the log-Sobolev constant of two-component mixtures provided that each component satisfies the functional inequality, and both…
We consider two methods to establish log-Sobolev inequalities for the invariant measure of a diffusion process when its density is not explicit and the curvature is not positive everywhere. In the first approach, based on the Holley-Stroock…
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 find extremely general classes of nonsmooth open sets which guarantee Mosco convergence for corresponding Sobolev spaces and the validity of Sobolev inequalities with a uniform constant. An important feature of our results is that the…
We prove a Poincar\'e-Sobolev type inequality on compact Riemannian manifolds where the deviation of a function from a biased average, defined using a density, is controlled by the unweighted Lebesgue norm of its gradient. Unlike classical…
In this paper, we got several sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev-type inequalities on quaternionic Heisenberg groups (a general form due to Folland and Stein [FS74]), using the symmetrization-free method in a paper of Frank and Lieb [FL12],…
We establish universal modified log-Sobolev inequalities for reversible Markov chains on the boolean lattice $\{0,1\}^n$, under the only assumption that the invariant law $\pi$ satisfies a form of negative dependence known as the stochastic…
We establish a log-Sobolev inequality for the stationary distribution of mean-field Langevin dynamics with a constant that is independent of the number of particles $N$. Our proof proceeds by establishing the existence of a Lipschitz…
The Sobolev regularity of invariant measures for diffusion processes is proved on non-smooth metric measure spaces with synthetic lower Ricci curvature bounds. As an application, the symmetrizability of semigroups is characterized, and the…
A family of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities on finite dimensional quantum state spaces is introduced. The framework of non-commutative $\bL_p$-spaces is reviewed and the relationship between quantum logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and the…
We consider finite-state Markov chains that can be naturally decomposed into smaller ``projection'' and ``restriction'' chains. Possibly this decomposition will be inductive, in that the restriction chains will be smaller copies of the…
We employ a Markov semigroup approach combined with the $\Gamma$-calculus to establish a generalized Beckner inequality associated with weighted Gaussian measures. As a direct consequence, we derive the corresponding Poincar\'e inequality…
This paper is a follow-up to the recent paper "A note on isotropic discrepancy and spectral test of lattice point sets" [J. Complexity, 58:101441, 2020]. We show that the isotropic discrepancy of a lattice point set is at most $d \,…
We consider a general class of Glauber dynamics reversible with respect to the standard Ising model in $\bbZ^d$ with zero external field and inverse temperature $\gb$ strictly larger than the critical value $\gb_c$ in dimension 2 or the so…

We show the propagation of regularity, uniformly in time, for the scaled solutions of the inelastic Maxwell model for small inelasticity. This result together with the weak convergence towards the homogenous cooling state present in the…
The cutoff phenomenon describes a sharp transition in the convergence of a Markov chain to equilibrium. In recent work, the authors established cutoff and its location for the stochastic Ising model on the $d$-dimensional torus $(Z/nZ)^d$…
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…
