We prove that in the context of general Markov semigroups Beckner inequalities with constants separated from zero as $p\to 1^+$ are equivalent to the modified log Sobolev inequality (previously only one implication was known to hold in this…

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 give upper bounds for the Poincar\'e and Logarithmic Sobolev constants for doubly weighted Brownian motion on manifolds with sticky reflecting boundary diffusion under curvature assumptions on the manifold and its boundary. We therefor…

We study a nonlinear Neumann-to-Steklov limit generated by a family of interior weights concentrating at the boundary. On a class of admissible possibly irregular domains obtained from the unit ball by trace-compatible Sobolev…

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 prove geometric upper bounds for the Poincar\'e and Logarithmic Sobolev constants for Brownian motion on manifolds with sticky reflecting boundary diffusion i.e. extended Wentzell-type boundary condition under general curvature…

We present a general subadditivity inequality for log-Sobolev constants of convolution measures. As a corollary, we show that the log-Sobolev constant is monotone along the sequence of standardized convolutions in the central limit theorem.

We introduce the notion of set-decomposition of a normal G-flat chain. We show that any normal rectifiable $G$-flat chain admits a decomposition in set-indecomposable sub-chains. This generalizes the decomposition of sets of finite…

We prove estimates for the sharp constants in fractional Poincar\'e-Sobolev inequalities associated to an open set, in terms of a nonlocal capacitary extension of its inradius. This work builds upon previous results obtained in the local…

We study limit theorems for partial sums of instantaneous functions of a homogeneous Markov chain on a general state space. The summands are heavy-tailed and the limits are stable distributions. The conditions imposed on the transition…

The continuum $\varphi^4_2$ and $\varphi^4_3$ measures are shown to satisfy a log-Sobolev inequality uniformly in the lattice regularisation under the optimal assumption that their susceptibility is bounded. In particular, this applies to…

In this paper we establish some explicit and sharp estimates of the spectral gap and the log-Sobolev constant for mean field particles system, uniform in the number of particles, when the confinement potential have many local minimums. Our…

Stanley decompositions are used in invariant theory and the theory of normal forms for dynamical systems to provide a unique way of writing each invariant as a polynomial in the Hilbert basis elements. Since the required Stanley…

We develop a framework for the compression of reversible Markov chains with rigorous error control. Given a subset of selected states, we construct reduced dynamics that can be lifted to an approximation of the full dynamics, and we prove…

The mixing time of an ergodic, reversible Markov chain can be bounded in terms of the eigenvalues of the chain: specifically, the second-largest eigenvalue and the smallest eigenvalue. It has become standard to focus only on the…

Contractive coupling rates have been recently introduced by Conforti as a tool to establish convex Sobolev inequalities (including modified log-Sobolev and Poincar\'{e} inequality) for some classes of Markov chains. In this work, we show…

Given a bounded convex open set $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb R^N$, we prove that the Poincar\'e-Sobolev constants $\lambda_{p,q}(\Omega)$ can be bounded from below by the $p$-power of the ratio between the perimeter of $\Omega$ and a suitable…

We study the limit behaviour of upper and lower bounds on expected time averages in imprecise Markov chains; a generalised type of Markov chain where the local dynamics, traditionally characterised by transition probabilities, are now…

We investigate the sharpness of the spectral profile bound presented by Goel et al. and Chen et al. on the $L^{2}$ mixing time of Markov chains on continuous state spaces. We show that the bound provided by Chen et al. is sharp up to a…
