Langevin diffusions are rapidly convergent under appropriate functional inequality assumptions. Hence, it is natural to expect that with additional smoothness conditions to handle the discretization errors, their discretizations like the…
We explore alternative functional or transport-entropy formulations of the Blaschke-Santal{\'o} inequality and of its conjectured counterpart due to Mahler. In particular, we obtain new direct and reverse Blaschke-Santal{\'o} inequalities…
We show that any probability measure satisfying a Matrix Poincar\'e inequality with respect to some reversible Markov generator satisfies an exponential matrix concentration inequality depending on the associated matrix carr\'e du champ…
We characterise the complex interpolation spaces of weighted vector-valued Sobolev spaces with and without boundary conditions on the half-space and on smooth bounded domains. The weights we consider are power weights that measure the…
We study convexity or concavity of certain trace functions for the deformed logarithmic and exponential functions, and obtain in this way new trace inequalities for deformed exponentials that may be considered as generalizations of…
Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities are a fundamental class of inequalities that play an important role in information theory. They play a key role in establishing concentration inequalities and in obtaining quantitative estimates on the…
We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequality for measures $$ q^n(x^n)=\text{dist}(X^n)=\exp\bigl(-V(x^n)\bigr), \quad x^n\in \Bbb R^n, $$ under the assumptions that: (i) the conditional distributions $$ Q_i(\cdot| x_j, j\neq i)=\text{dist}(X_i|…
We consider probability mass functions $V$ supported on the positive integers using arguments introduced by Caputo, Dai Pra and Posta, based on a Bakry--\'{E}mery condition for a Markov birth and death operator with invariant measure $V$.…
We develop a new method to obtain symmetrization inequalities of Sobolev type. Our approach leads to new inequalities and considerable simplification in the theory of embeddings of Sobolev spaces based on rearrangement invariant spaces.
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 prove an isoperimetric inequality for the uniform measure on a uniformly convex body and for a class of uniformly log-concave measures (that we introduce). These inequalities imply (up to universal constants) the log-Sobolev inequalities…
In these notes, we present versions of trace theorems for Sobolev spaces over an interval in the real line, and also a one-dimensional version of the well-known Poincare inequality.
This paper is devoted to improvements of Sobolev and Onofri inequalities. The additional terms involve the dual counterparts, i.e. Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev type inequalities. The Onofri inequality is achieved as a limit case of Sobolev type…
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.…
This introduction surveys a renormalisation group perspective on log-Sobolev inequalities and related properties of stochastic dynamics. We also explain the relationship of this approach to related recent and less recent developments such…
In this note, we establish a $L^p-$version of the Poincar\'e--Sobolev inequalities in the hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb H^n$. The interest of this result is that it relates both the Poincar\'e (or Hardy) inequality and the Sobolev inequality…
We prove fractional Sobolev-Poincar\'e inequalities, capacitary versions of fractional Poincar\'e inequalities, and pointwise and localized fractional Hardy inequalities in a metric space equipped with a doubling measure. Our results…
Interpolation inequalities in Triebel-Lizorkin-Lorentz spaces and Besov-Lorentz spaces are studied for both inhomogeneous and homogeneous cases. First we establish interpolation inequalities under quite general assumptions on the parameters…
This note presents a method based on Feynman-Kac semigroups for logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. It follows the recent work of Bonnefont and Joulin on intertwining relations for diffusion operators, formerly used for spectral gap…
In this paper, we prove Poincar\'e and Sobolev inequalities for differential forms in $L^1(\mathbb R^n)$. The singular integral estimates that it is possible to use for $L^p$, $p>1$, are replaced here with inequalities which go back to…
