Gaussian concentration implies modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities under Ricci curvature bounds
Let be a Markov chain with invariant measure , and suppose that a concentration property with respect to the distance holds with profile
Assume that for some . Gaussian-concentration modified logarithmic Sobolev conjecture. There exists a constant and a constant such that, if
then holds. If moreover , then holds for some universal constant . The open aspect identified in the source is the value of the constant.
