Modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities in null curvature (Q997816)

The main results of the paper show that a log-concave measure between the exponential measure and the Gaussian measure satisfies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality, i.e., there exist constants \(A,B,C>0\) such that, for every smooth functions \(f>0\), \[ \mathbf{Ent}_\mu(f^2):=\int f^2\log f^2d\mu-\int f^2d\mu\log\int f^2d\mu \leq A\int H_\Phi\left({f'/f}\right)f^2d\mu, \] where \(\Phi\), the negative logarithm of the density function of the measure \(\mu\) with respect to the Lebesgue measure, is a symmetric convex function satisfying the inequality \((1+\varepsilon)\Phi(x)\leq x\Phi'(x)\leq(2-\varepsilon)\Phi(x)\) for \(x\geq0\) large enough and for some \(\varepsilon\in]0,1/2]\), and \(H_\Phi(x):=x^2\) if \(| x| <C\) and \(H_\Phi(x):=\Phi^*(Bx)\) if \(| x| \geq C\), where \(\Phi^*\) denotes the Legendre-Fenchel transform of \(\Phi\).
