Extending results of Harg{\'e} and Hu for the Gaussian measure, we prove inequalities for the covariance Cov$_\mu(f, g)$ where $\mu$ is a general product probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $f,g: \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}$ satisfy…

In this paper, weak convergences of marked empirical processes in $L^2(\mathbb{R},\nu)$ and their applications to statistical goodness-of-fit tests are provided, where $L^2(\mathbb{R},\nu)$ is the set of equivalence classes of the square…

We find sufficient conditions for a probability measure $\mu$ to satisfy an inequality of the type $$ \int_{\R^d} f^2 F\Bigl(\frac{f^2}{\int_{\R^d} f^2 d \mu} \Bigr) d \mu \le C \int_{\R^d} f^2 c^{*}\Bigl(\frac{|\nabla f|}{|f|} \Bigr) d \mu…

We present in this paper a new way to define weighted Sobolev spaces when the weight functions are arbitrary small. This new approach can replace the old one consisting in modifying the domain by removing the set of points where at least…

We consider the spaces $L^p(X,\nu;V)$, where $X$ is a separable Banach space, $\mu$ is a centred non-degenerate Gaussian measure, $\nu:=Ke^{-U}\mu$ with normalizing factor $K$ and $V$ is a separable Hilbert space. In this paper we prove a…

It is well known that besides oscillations, sequences bounded only in $L^1$ can also develop concentrations, and if the latter occurs, we can at most hope for weak$^*$ convergence in the sense of measures. Here we derive a new tool to…

We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and concentration results for convex functions and a class of product random vectors. The results are used to derive tail and moment inequalities for chaos variables (in spirit of Talagrand and…

The objective of this paper is twofold. First, we conduct a careful study of various functional inequalities involving the fractional Laplacian operators, including nonlocal Sobolev-Poincar\'e, Nash, Super Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev…

In this paper we study Hardy and Poincar\'e inequalities and their weak versions for quadratic forms satisfying the first Beurling-Deny criterion. We employ these inequalities to establish a criticality theory for such forms.

I show that the application of the quantum-mechanical (QM) which-way weak measurement scheme of Vaidman may lead to logical inconsistencies. To this end, I study weak values of projection operators. Weak values are (normalized) amplitudes,…

In the setting of a complete, doubling metric measure space $(X,d,\mu)$ supporting a $(1,1)$-Poincar\'e inequality, we show that for all $0<\theta<1$, the following fractional Poincar\'e inequality holds for all balls $B$ and locally…

We develop a new approach to formulate and prove the weak uncertainty inequality which was recently introduced by Okoudjou and Strichartz. We assume either an appropriate measure growth condition with respect to the effective resistance…

Weak measurements offer the possibility of tuning the information acquired on a system, hence the imposed disturbance. This suggests that it could be a useful tool for multi-parameter estimation, when two parameters can not be measured…

Weak-type quasi-norms are defined using the mean oscillation or the mean of a function on dyadic cubes, providing discrete analogues and variants of the corresponding quasi-norms on the upper half-space previously considered in the…

We develop in this paper an improvement of the method given by S. Bobkov and M. Ledoux. Using the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, we prove a modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality adapted for all measures on $\dR^n$, with a strictly convex…

In this paper we make a survey of some recent developments of the theory of Sobolev spaces $W^{1,q}(X,\sfd,\mm)$, $1<q<\infty$, in metric measure spaces $(X,\sfd,\mm)$. In the final part of the paper we provide a new proof of the…

While the novel applications of weak values have recently attracted wide attention, weak measurement, the usual way to extract weak values, suffers from risky approximations and severe quantum noises. In this paper, we show that the…

We consider the p-Laplacian in R^d perturbed by a weakly coupled potential. We calculate the asymptotic expansions of the lowest eigenvalue of such an operator in the weak coupling limit separately for p>d and p=d and discuss the connection…

We extend the results of [5], where we proved an equivalence between weighted Poincar\'e inequalities and the existence of weak solutions to a family of Neumann problems related to a degenerate $p$-Laplacian. Here we prove a similar…

In various analytical contexts, it is proved that a weak Sobolev inequality implies a doubling property for the underlying measure.
