Some notes on higher order concentration of measure

Probability 2025-07-14 v1

Abstract

This survey-type paper provides a common framework for a larger number of higher order concentration results (i.\,e., concentration results for non-Lipschitz functions which have bounded derivatives of higher order) in the spirit of Bobkov--G\"otze--Sambale (2019). Situations inlude measures satisfying various functional inequalities (log-Sobolev, Poincar\'{e}, LSq\mathrm{LS}_q), uniform and cone measures on spheres with respect to the Euclidean as well as pn\ell_p^n-norms, Stiefel and Grassmann manifolds as well as discrete situations. In particular in the latter case, some open questions and remarks are stated.
