TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that transport inequalities, similar to the one derived by M. Talagrand (1996, Geom. Funct. Anal. 6, 587-600) for the Gaussian measure, are implied by logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

Finer estimates on the 2-dimensional matching problem

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the asymptotic behavior of the expected cost of the random matching problem on a 2-dimensional compact manifold, improving in several aspects the results of L. Ambrosio, F. Stra and D. Trevisan.

Convexity of mutual information along the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck flow

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the convexity of mutual information as a function of time along the flow of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and proved that mutual information is eventually convex, i.e., convex for all large time.

One-Dimensional Fokker–Planck Equations and Functional Inequalities for Heavy Tailed Densities

TL;DR: In this paper , the problem of trend to equilibrium for one-dimensional Fokker-Planck equations modeling socio-economic problems, and functional inequalities of the type of Poincaré, Wirtinger and logarithmic Sobolev, with weight, for probability densities with polynomial tails are discussed.

Polar Factorization and Monotone Rearrangement of Vector-Valued Functions

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for every vector-valued function u Lp(X, p; Rd) there is a unique polar factorization u = V$.s, where $ is a convex function defined on R and s is a measure-preserving mapping from (x, p) into (Q, I. I), provided that u is nondegenerate.

The geometry of dissipative evolution equations: the porous medium equation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the porous medium equation has a gradient flow structure which is both physically and mathematically natural, and they use the intuition and the calculus of Riemannian geometry to quantify this asymptotic behavior.

Topological methods in hydrodynamics

TL;DR: A group theoretical approach to hydrodynamics is proposed in this article, where the authors consider the hydrodynamic geometry of diffeomorphism groups and the principle of least action implies that the motion of a fluid is described by geodesics on the group in the right-invariant Riemannian metric given by the kinetic energy.
