Our criterion relies on the control of an associated PDE well known in renormalisation theory: the Polchinski equation. It implies the usual Bakry--\\'Emery criterion, but we show that it remains effective for measures which are far from log-concave. Indeed, using our criterion, we prove that the massive continuum Sine-Gordon model with $\\beta < 6\\pi$ satisfies asymptotically optimal Log-Sobolev inequalities for Glauber and Kawasaki dynamics. These dynamics can be seen as singular SPDEs recently constructed via regularity structures, but our results are independent of this theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-07-29T09:54:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "log-sobolev inequality", "satisfies asymptotically optimal log-sobolev inequalities", "usual bakry-emery criterion", "massive continuum sine-gordon model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
