geometry-topology / Asymptotic convex geometry; functional inequalities for log-concave measures

Bizeul's conjecture: a dimension-free log-Sobolev inequality for log-concave measures with subgaussian linear marginals

Theorem 1.1: there is an absolute CC such that for every nn, every centered log-concave probability μ\mu on Rn\mathbb R^n with a density and linear subgaussian parameter aa, Entμ(f2)≤Ca2∫∣Df∣2dμ\mathrm{Ent}_\mu(f^2)\le Ca^2\int|Df|^2d\mu for all f∈Cc∞f\in C_c^\infty; 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)W_2(\nu,\mu)^2\le Ca^2H(\nu|\mu) with the same constant. Not given: a value of CC, or anything for non-log-concave measures.
