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.

Prekopa-Leindler type inequalities on Riemannian manifolds, Jacobi fields, and optimal transport

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated Prekopa-Leindler type inequalities on a Riemannian manifold M equipped with a measure with density e V where the potential V and the Ricci curvature satisfy Hessx V + Ricx I for all x 2 M, with some 2 R.

Concentration inequalities for dependent Random variables via the martingale method

TL;DR: In this article, the martingale method is used to establish concentration inequalities for a class of dependent random sequences on a countable state space, with the constants in the inequalities expressed in terms of certain mixing coefficients.

Trend to equilibrium and particle approximation for a weakly selfconsistent Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation

TL;DR: In this article, a Vlasov-Fokker-planck equation governing the evolution of the density of interacting and diffusive matter in the space of positions and velocities is considered and a probabilistic interpretation is used to obtain convergence towards equilibrium in Wasserstein distance with an explicit exponential rate.

Perelman’s entropy formula for the Witten Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds via Bakry–Emery Ricci curvature

TL;DR: In this paper, an analogue of Perelman's and Ni's entropy formula for the heat equation associated with the Witten Laplacian on complete Riemannian manifolds via the Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature is studied.

On quadratic transportation cost inequalities

TL;DR: In this paper, the Poincare inequality was shown to be equivalent to the quadratic transportation cost inequalities, and new families of inequalities were introduced for relative entropy, which are equivalent to poincare inequalities for T 2 but not the logarithmic Sobolev inequality.

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.
