We consider a generic modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality (mLSI) of the form $\mathrm{Ent}_{\mu}(e^f) \le \tfrac{\rho}{2} \mathbb{E}_\mu e^f \Gamma(f)^2$ for some difference operator $\Gamma$, and show how it implies two-level…

We consider an ergodic invariant measure $\mu$ for a smooth action of $Z^k$, $k \ge 2$, on a $(k+1)$-dimensional manifold or for a locally free smooth action of $R^k$, $k \ge 2$ on a $(2k+1)$-dimensional manifold. We prove that if $\mu$ is…

We provide a sufficient condition for a measure on the real line to satisfy a modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality, thus extending the criterion of Bobkov and G\"{o}tze. Under mild assumptions the condition is also necessary.…

We derive sufficient conditions for a probability measure on a finite product space (a spin system) to satisfy a (modified) logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We establish these conditions for various examples, such as the (vertex-weighted)…

We show that certain functional inequalities, e.g.\ Nash-type and Poincar\'e-type inequalities, for infinitesimal generators of $C_0$ semigroups are preserved under subordination in the sense of Bochner. Our result improves \cite[Theorem…

We formulate a criterion for the existence of an invariant measure for a Feller semigroup defined on a metric space with the e-property for bounded continuous functions and use it to prove the asymptotic stability of a semigroup satisfying…
