Mixtures are convex combinations of laws. Despite this simple definition, a mixture can be far more subtle than its mixed components. For instance, mixing Gaussian laws may produce a potential with multiple deep wells. We study in the…

Beckner's inequality is a family of inequalities that interpolates the two fundamental functional inequalities, the logarithmic Sobolev and Poincar\'e's inequalities. It is parametrized by exponent $p\in (1,2]$ and it implies the…

We discuss situations where perturbing a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ does not deteriorate its Poincar\'e constant by much. A particular example is the symmetric exponential measure in $\mathbb{R}^n$, even log-concave perturbations…
