摘要

We consider two methods to establish log-Sobolev inequalities for the invariant measure of a diffusion process when its density is not explicit and the curvature is not positive everywhere. In the first approach, based on the Holley–Stroock and Aida–Shigekawa perturbation arguments (Holley and Stroock, J. Stat. Phys. 46(5–6), 1159–1194 1987; Aida and Shigekawa, J. Funct. Anal. 126(2), 448–475 1994), the control on the (non-explicit) perturbation is obtained by stochastic control methods, following the comparison technique introduced by Conforti (2023). The second method combines the Wasserstein-2 contraction method, used in Monmarché (Ann. Henri Lebesgue 6, 941–973 2023) to prove a Poincaré inequality in some non-equilibrium cases, with Wang’s hypercontractivity results (Wang, Ann. Probab. 37(4), 1587–1604 2009).
