Geometric and functional inequalities for log-concave probability sequences

A Marsiglietti, J Melbourne - Discrete & Computational Geometry, 2024 - Springer
We investigate geometric and functional inequalities for the class of log-concave probability
sequences. We prove dilation inequalities for log-concave probability measures on the …

Strictly subgaussian probability distributions

SG Bobkov, GP Chistyakov, F Götze - Electronic Journal of …, 2024 - projecteuclid.org
We explore probability distributions on the real line whose Laplace transform admits an
upper bound of subgaussian type known as strict subgaussianity. One class in this family …

Distributional stability of the Szarek and Ball inequalities

A Eskenazis, P Nayar, T Tkocz - Mathematische Annalen, 2024 - Springer
We prove an extension of Szarek's optimal Khinchin inequality (1976) for distributions close
to the Rademacher one, when all the weights are uniformly bounded by a 1/2 fraction of their …

Log-concavity and discrete degrees of freedom

J Jakimiuk, D Murawski, P Nayar, S Słobodianiuk - Discrete Mathematics, 2024 - Elsevier
We develop the notion of discrete degrees of freedom of a log-concave sequence and use it
to prove that geometric distribution minimises Rényi entropy of order infinity under fixed …

Central Limit Theorem for R\'enyi Divergence of Infinite Order

SG Bobkov, F Götze - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.02259, 2024 - arxiv.org
For normalized sums $ Z_n $ of iid random variables, we explore necessary and sufficient
conditions which guarantee the normal approximation with respect to the R\'enyi divergence …

Haagerup's phase transition at polydisc slicing

G Chasapis, S Singh, T Tkocz - Analysis & PDE, 2024 - msp.org
We establish a sharp comparison inequality between the negative moments and the second
moment of the magnitude of sums of independent random vectors uniform on three …
