Abstract: We show that for weakly dependent random variables the relative entropy functional satisfies an approximate version of the standard tensorization property which holds in the independent case. As a corollary we obtain a family of dimensionless logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. In the context of spin systems on a graph, the weak dependence requirements resemble the well known Dobrushin uniqueness conditions. Our results can be considered as a discrete counterpart of a recent work of Katalin Marton. We also discuss some natural generalizations such as approximate Shearer estimates and subadditivity of entropy.
