In this paper, we present a simple proof of a recent result of the second author which establishes that functional inverse-Santal{\'o} inequalities follow from Entropy-Transport inequalities. Then, using transport arguments together with…

This note presents a sharp transport-entropy inequality that improves on Talagrand's inequality for the Gaussian measure, arising as a dual formulation of the functional Santal\'o inequality. We also discuss some extensions and connections…

We explore an interplay between an analysis of diffusion flows such as Ornstein--Uhlenbeck flow and Fokker--Planck flow and inequalities from convex geometry regarding the volume product. More precisely, we introduce new types of…

We establish dual equivalent forms involving relative entropy, Fisher information and optimal transport costs of inverse Santal{\'o} inequalities. We show in particular that the Mahler conjecture is equivalent to some dimensional lower…

We relate transport-entropy inequalities to the study of critical points of functionals defined on the space of probability measures. This approach leads in particular to a new proof of a result by Otto and Villani [43] showing that the…

We establish new functional versions of the Blaschke-Santal\'o inequality on the volume product of a convex body which generalize to the non-symmetric setting an inequality of K. Ball and we give a simple proof of the case of equality. As a…

We introduce the notion of an interpolating path on the set of probability measures on finite graphs. Using this notion, we first prove a displacement convexity property of entropy along such a path and derive Prekopa-Leindler type…

We give a new proof of the sharp symmetrized form of Talagrand's transport-entropy inequality. Compared to stochastic proofs of other Gaussian functional inequalities, the new idea here is a certain coupling induced by time-reversed…

It is shown that each monotone Minkowski endomorphism of convex bodies gives rise to an isoperimetric inequality which directly implies the classical Urysohn inequality. Among this large family of new inequalities, the only affine invariant…

We study the transportation problem on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$ for symmetric probability measures and the cost function $c(x,y) = \log \frac{1}{\langle x, y \rangle}$. We calculate the variation of the corresponding Kantorovich functional…

We introduce a general notion of transport cost that encompasses many costs used in the literature (including the classical one and weak transport costs introduced by Talagrand and Marton in the 90's), and prove a Kantorovich type duality…

Reverse H\"{o}lder inequalities for a class of functions on a probability space constitute an important tool in Analysis in Probability. After revisiting how a (modified) log-Sobolev inequality can be used to derive reverse H\"{o}lder…

Talagrand's inequalities make a link between two fundamentals concepts of probability: transport of measures and entropy. The study of the counterpart of these inequalities in the context of free probability has been initiated by Biane and…
