Bibliographic Information: Balogh, Z. M., & Kristály, A. (2024). Logarithmic-Sobolev inequalities on non-compact Euclidean submanifolds: sharpness and rigidity. arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.09419.
Research Objective: To establish sharp and rigid counterparts of the Euclidean Lp-logarithmic-Sobolev inequality on complete, non-compact n-dimensional Euclidean submanifolds.
Methodology: The authors utilize optimal transport theory, developing a Brenier-type statement for non-compactly supported measures on submanifolds. They employ this framework to derive sharp inequalities and analyze equality cases, revealing geometric characteristics of the submanifolds.
Key Findings:
Main Conclusions: The study provides a significant advancement in understanding logarithmic Sobolev inequalities on submanifolds, establishing sharp inequalities and characterizing equality cases. The results have implications for the study of geometric analysis, particularly in the context of optimal transport and the geometry of submanifolds.
Significance: This research contributes significantly to the field of geometric analysis by providing sharp and rigid logarithmic Sobolev inequalities on a broader class of submanifolds. The findings have potential applications in areas such as the study of heat flow, mean curvature flow, and hypercontractivity estimates.
Limitations and Future Research: The paper primarily focuses on the case of p ≥ 2 for the Lp-logarithmic-Sobolev inequalities. Further research could explore the case of 1 < p < 2 and investigate the possibility of obtaining codimension-free inequalities in this regime. Additionally, exploring the implications of these results in other geometric contexts, such as Riemannian manifolds with different curvature bounds, could be a fruitful avenue for future work.
