These inequalities were introduced by Bobkov and Ledoux, and are closely related to concentration of measure and transport-entropy inequalities. Our method is an adaptation of the iterated two-scale approach that was developed by Menz and Otto to prove the usual logarithmic Sobolev inequality in this context. As a consequence, we obtain convergence in Wasserstein distance $W_p$ for Kawasaki dynamics on the Ginzburg-Landau model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-06-19T15:48:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "modified logarithmic sobolev inequalities", "canonical ensembles", "usual logarithmic sobolev inequality", "superquadratic single-site potential", "ginzburg-landau model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1306.1484F" } } }
