We develop a general framework for using duality to "transfer" stability results for a functional inequality to its dual inequality. As an application, we prove a stability bound for the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, which is related…

Our aim is to provide a short and self contained synthesis which generalise and unify various related and unrelated works involving what we call Phi-Sobolev functional inequalities. Such inequalities related to Phi-entropies can be seen in…

We study and develop multilevel methods for the numerical approximation of a log-concave probability $\pi$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, based on (over-damped) Langevin diffusion. In the continuity of \cite{art:egeapanloup2021multilevel} concentrated…

We show that there are no general stability results for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality in terms of the Wasserstein distances and $L^{p}(d\gamma)$ distance for $p>1$. To this end, we construct a sequence of centered probability measures…

Classically, the continuous-time Langevin diffusion converges exponentially fast to its stationary distribution $\pi$ under the sole assumption that $\pi$ satisfies a Poincar\'e inequality. Using this fact to provide guarantees for the…

In the study of concentration properties of isotropic log-concave measures, it is often useful to first ensure that the measure has super-Gaussian marginals. To this end, a standard preprocessing step is to convolve with a Gaussian measure,…

For general ferromagnetic Ising models whose coupling matrix has bounded spectral radius, we show that the log-Sobolev constant satisfies a simple bound expressed only in terms of the susceptibility of the model. This bound implies very…

In this note, we consider the underdamped Langevin dynamics with invariant measure $\mu(\mathrm{d}x\,\mathrm{d}v) \propto e^{-U(x)-|v|^2/2}\,\mathrm{d}x\,\mathrm{d}v$. Assume that the position marginal $\mu_x(\mathrm{d}x)\propto…
