Abstract: Given p,N>1, we prove the sharp Lp-log-Sobolev inequality on noncompact metric measure spaces satisfying the sfCD(0,N) condition, where the optimal constant involves the asymptotic volume ratio of the space. This proof is based on a sharp isoperimetric inequality in sfCD(0,N) spaces, symmetrisation, and a careful scaling argument. As an application we establish a sharp hypercontractivity estimate for the Hopf-Lax semigroup in sfCD(0,N) spaces. The proof of this result uses Hamilton-Jacobi inequality and Sobolev regularity properties of the Hopf-Lax semigroup, which turn out to be essential in the present setting of nonsmooth and noncompact spaces. Furthermore, a sharp Gaussian-type L2-log-Sobolev inequality is also obtained in sfRCD(0,N) spaces. Our results are new, even in the smooth setting of Riemannian/Finsler manifolds. In particular, an extension of the celebrated rigidity result of Ni (J. Geom. Anal., 2004) on Riemannian manifolds will be a simple consequence of our sharp log-Sobolev inequality.
