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…

We establish the absence of the Lavrentiev gap between Sobolev and smooth maps for a non-autonomous variational problem of a general structure, where the integrand is assumed to be controlled by a function which is convex and anisotropic…

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 prove a logarithmic Sobolev inequality for closed submanifolds with constant length of mean curvature vector in a manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature.

We give estimates on the logarithmic Sobolev constant of some finite lamplighter graphs in terms of the spectral gap of the underlying base. Also, we give examples of application.

Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities are a fundamental class of inequalities that play an important role in information theory. They play a key role in establishing concentration inequalities and in obtaining quantitative estimates on the…

We investigate discrete Poincar\'e inequalities on piecewise polynomial subspaces of the Sobolev spaces H(curl) and H(div) in three space dimensions. We characterize the dependence of the constants on the continuous-level constants, the…

Let $W^1L^{p,q}(\mathbb H^n)$, $1\leq q,p < \infty$ denote the Lorentz-Sobolev spaces of order one in the hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb H^n$. Our aim in this paper is three-fold. First of all, we establish a sharp Poincar\'e inequality in…

We study the log-concave measures, their characterization via the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler property and also define a subset of it whose elements are called super log-concave measures which have the property of satisfying a logarithmic Sobolev…

Contains a further development of the V.G. Maz'ya concept of polynomial capacities.A different different approach is given together with new results. The primary application is for Hardy inequalities. This is treated in a later report. Here…

We prove several Sobolev-type inequalities related to the $\bar\partial$-operator on bounded domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$, which can be viewed as a $\bar\partial$-version of the classical Sobolev inequality and its various generalizations, and…

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 study one-dimensional functional inequalities of the type of Poincar\'e, logarithmic Sobolev and Wirtinger, with weight, for probability densities with polynomial tails. As main examples, we obtain sharp inequalities satisfied by inverse…

We derive some anisotropic Sobolev inequalities in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with a monomial weight in the general setting of rearrangement invariant spaces. Our starting point is to obtain an integral oscillation inequality in multiplicative form.

Consider a proper geodesic metric space $(X,d)$ equipped with a Borel measure $\mu.$ We establish a family of uniform Poincar\'e inequalities on $(X,d,\mu)$ if it satisfies a local Poincar\'e inequality ($P_{loc}$) and a condition on growth…

We give a functional version of the affine isoperimetric inequality for log-concave functions which may be interpreted as an inverse form of a logarithmic Sobolev inequality inequality for entropy. A linearization of this inequality gives…

Through the main example of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup, the Bakry-Emery criterion is presented as a main tool to get functional inequalities as Poincar\'e or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. Moreover an alternative method using 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…

We establish an improved form of the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the Gaussian measure restricted to probability densities which satisfy a Poincar\'e inequality. The result implies a lower bound on the deficit in terms of…

We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequality for measures $$ q^n(x^n)=\text{dist}(X^n)=\exp\bigl(-V(x^n)\bigr), \quad x^n\in \Bbb R^n, $$ under the assumptions that: (i) the conditional distributions $$ Q_i(\cdot| x_j, j\neq i)=\text{dist}(X_i|…
