Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities and Concentration of Measure for Convex Functions and Polynomial Chaoses
Modified log-Sobolev inequalities for convex functions on the real line. Sufficient conditions
We provide a mild sufficient condition for a probability measure on the real line to satisfy a modified log-Sobolev inequality for convex functions, interpolating between the classical log-Sobolev inequality and a Bobkov-Ledoux type inequality. As a consequence we obtain dimension-free two-level concentration results for convex functions of independent random variables with sufficiently regular tail decay. We also provide a link between modified log-Sobolev inequalities...
Tail and moment estimates for chaoses generated by symmetric random variables with logarithmically concave tails
We present two-sided estimates of moments and tails of polynomial chaoses of order at most three generated by independent symmetric random variables with log-concave tails as well as for chaoses of arbitrary order generated by independent symmetric exponential variables. The estimates involve only deterministic quantities and are optimal up to constants depending only on the order of the chaos variable.
Chevet type inequality and norms of submatrices
We prove a Chevet type inequality which gives an upper bound for the norm of an isotropic log-concave unconditional random matrix in terms of the expectation of the supremum of “symmetric exponential” processes, compared to the Gaussian ones in the Chevet inequality. This is used to give a sharp upper estimate for a quantity that controls uniformly the Euclidean operator norm of the submatrices with k rows and m columns of an isotropic log-concave unconditional random matrix. We apply these estimates...
