Functional inequalities and uniqueness of the Gibbs measure — from log-Sobolev to Poincaré

Pierre-André Zitt — 2008

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In a statistical mechanics model with unbounded spins, we prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure under various assumptions on finite volume functional inequalities. We follow Royer's approach (Royer, 1999) and obtain uniqueness by showing convergence properties of a Glauber-Langevin dynamics. The result was known when the measures on the box [- (with free boundary conditions) satisfied the same logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We generalize this in two directions: either the constants may be allowed...

Poincaré inequalities and hitting times

Patrick Cattiaux;  Arnaud Guillin;  Pierre André Zitt — 2013

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Equivalence of the spectral gap, exponential integrability of hitting times and Lyapunov conditions is well known. We give here the correspondence (with quantitative results) for reversible diffusion processes. As a consequence, we generalize results of Bobkov in the one dimensional case on the value of the Poincaré constant for log-concave measures to superlinear potentials. Finally, we study various functional inequalities under different hitting times integrability conditions (polynomial,…)....
