Isoperimetry and symmetrization for logarithmic Sobolev inequalities (Q999868)

The authors proposed a unified framework to study the classical and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities through the use of symmetrization methods. New Gaussian symmetrization inequalities are obtained and their connections with logarithmic Sobolev inequalities are described. It is proved that the following inequalities are equivalent: the isoperimetric inequality, Ledoux's inequality, the Gaussian version of the Talenti inequality, the Gaussian version of the oscillation inequality, and the Pólya-Szegö principle.
