Abstract

We prove a log-Sobolev inequality for a certain class of log-concave measures in high dimension. These are the probability measures supported on the unit cube [0, 1]n ⊂ ℝn whose density takes the form exp(−ψ), where the function ψ is assumed to be convex (but not strictly convex) with bounded pure second derivatives. Our argument relies on a transportation-cost inequality á la Talagrand.
