We study the infinite-dimensional log-Sobolev inequality for spin systems on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with interactions of power higher than quadratic. We assume that the one site measure without a boundary $e^{-\phi(x)}dx/Z$ satisfies a log-Sobolev…

The main aim of this paper is to study the functional inequality \begin{equation*} \int_{[0,1]}f\bigl((1-t)x+ty\bigr)d\mu(t)\geq 0, \qquad x,y\in I \mbox{ with } x<y, \end{equation*} for a continuous unknown function $f:I\to{\mathbb R}$,…

We study functional inequalities (Poincar\'e, Cheeger, log-Sobolev) for probability measures obtained as perturbations. Several explicit results for general measures as well as log-concave distributions are given.The initial goal of this…

Given a probability measure $P$ on a $\sigma$-algebra of subsets of a set $\Omega$, an interval $I\subset\mathbb R$, $g\in L^1(I)$, and a function $\varphi\colon I\times\Omega\to I$ fulfilling some conditions we obtain results on the…

In this paper, we characterize compatibility of distributions and probability measures on a measurable space. For a set of indices $\mathcal J$, we say that the tuples of probability measures $(Q_i)_{i\in \mathcal J} $ and distributions…

Let $V$ be a locally bounded measurable function such that $e^{-V}$ is bounded and belongs to $L^1(dx)$, and let $\mu_V(dx):=C_V e^{-V(x)} dx$ be a probability measure. We present the criterion for the weighted Poincar\'{e} inequality of…

The present paper is devoted to the boundedness of fractional integral operators in Morrey spaces defined on quasimetric measure spaces. In particular, Sobolev, trace and weighted inequalities with power weights for potential operators are…

We prove new entropy inequalities for log concave and s-concave functions that strengthen and generalize recently established reverse log Sobolev and Poincare inequalities for such functions. This leads naturally to the concept of…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions on weights $u_1, u_2, v_1, v_2$, i.e. measurable, positive, and finite, a.e. on $(a,b)$, for which there exists a positive constant $C$ such that for given $0 < p_1,q_1,p_2,q_2 <\infty$ the…

We obtain an improved Sobolev inequality in H^s spaces involving Morrey norms. This refinement yields a direct proof of the existence of optimizers and the compactness up to symmetry of optimizing sequences for the usual Sobolev embedding.…

Let $M$ be a compact 1-manifold. Given a continuous function $g:M\to \mathbb R_+$ we consider the following ordinary differential equation: $\|\dot{f}(t)\|=g(t)$, where $f:M\to \mathbb R^2$. We construct a probability measure on the space…

We prove that the (B) conjecture and the Gardner-Zvavitch conjecture are true for all log-concave measures that are rotationally invariant, extending previous results known for Gaussian measures. Actually, our result apply beyond the case…

We consider the question of showing a log-Sobolev inequality for the Gibbs measure of the focusing Schr\"odinger equation built by Lebowitz-Rose-Speer (1988), formally given by $$ d\rho \propto \exp\big(\frac 1 p\int_{\mathbb T} |u|^p d x -…

We give here a simple proof of weighted logarithmic Sobolev inequality, for example for Cauchy type measures, with optimal weight, sharpening results of Bobkov-Ledoux. Some consequences are also discussed.

We prove structure theorems for measures on the discrete cube and on Gaussian space, which provide sufficient conditions for mean-field behavior. These conditions rely on a new notion of complexity for such measures, namely the…
