Bizeul's conjecture: a dimension-free log-Sobolev inequality for log-concave measures with subgaussian linear marginals
Theorem 1.1: there is an absolute C such that for every n, every centered log-concave probability μ on Rn with a density and linear subgaussian parameter a, Entμ(f2)≤Ca2∫∣Df∣2dμ for all f∈Cc∞; this includes uniform measures on convex bodies and needs no smoothness or curvature. By Otto-Villani it gives the transport-entropy inequality W2(ν,μ)2≤Ca2H(ν∣μ) with the same constant. Not given: a value of C, or anything for non-log-concave measures.
