We investigate the metastable behavior of reversible Markov chains on possibly countable infinite state spaces. Based on a new definition of metastable Markov processes, we compute precisely the mean transition time between metastable sets.…
We consider It\^o SDE $\d X_t=\sum_{j=1}^m A_j(X_t) \d w_t^j + A_0(X_t) \d t$ on $\R^d$. The diffusion coefficients $A_1,..., A_m$ are supposed to be in the Sobolev space $W_\text{loc}^{1,p} (\R^d)$ with $p>d$, and to have linear growth;…
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 logarithmic Sobolev inequality is fundamental in mathematical physics. Associated stability estimates are equivalent to uncertainty principles. Via a second moment bound, $W^{1,1}$ estimates are obtained in one dimension and similar…
We consider the Sobolev norms of the pointwise product of two functions, and estimate from above and below the constants appearing in two related inequalities.
By using a coupling method, an explicit log-Harnack inequality with local geometry quantities is established for (sub-Markovian) diffusion semigroups on a Riemannian manifold (possibly with boundary). This inequality as well as the…
Frank and Lieb gave a new, rearrangement-free, proof of the sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities by exploiting their conformal covariance. Using this they gave new proofs of sharp Sobolev inequalities for the embeddings…
Obtaining explicit stability estimates in classical functional inequalities like the Sobolev inequality has been an essentially open question for 30 years, after the celebrated but non-constructive result of G. Bianchi and H. Egnell in…
We derive a multiscale generalisation of the Bakry--\'Emery criterion for a measure to satisfy a Log-Sobolev inequality. Our criterion relies on the control of an associated PDE well known in renormalisation theory: the Polchinski equation.…
We consider the long time statistics of a one-dimensional stochastic Ginzburg-Landau equation with cubic nonlinearity while being subjected to random perturbations via an additive Gaussian noise. Under the assumption that sufficiently many…
In this paper, we study the stability of the following nonlocal Soblev-type inequality \begin{equation*} C_{HLS}\big(\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\big(|x|^{-\mu} \ast u^{p}\big)u^{p} dx\big)^{\frac{1}{p}}\leq\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}|\nabla u|^2 dx , \quad…
We prove stability estimates for the Bakry-Emery bound on Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev constants of uniformly log-concave measures. In particular, we improve the quantitative bound in a result of De Philippis and Figalli asserting…
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…
In this work, we present some new Carleman inequalities for Stokes and Oseen equations with non-homogeneous boundary conditions. These estimates lead to log type stability inequalities for the problem of recovering the solution of the…

Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities are a powerful way to estimate the rate of convergence of Markov chains and to derive concentration inequalities on distributions. We prove that the log-Sobolev constant of any isotropic logconcave density…
Characterization of composite materials, whose properties vary in space over microscopic scales, has become a problem of broad interdisciplinary interest. In particular, estimation of the inhomogeneous transport coefficients, e.g. the…
We assume one site measures without a boundary $e^{-\phi(x)}dx/Z$ that satisfy a log-Sobolev inequality. We prove that if these measures are perturbed with quadratic interactions, then the associated infinite dimensional Gibbs measure on…
