چکیده

We consider the coarse-graining of a lattice system with continuous spin variable. In the first part, two abstract results are established: sufficient conditions for a logarithmic Sobolev inequality with constants independent of the dimension (Theorem 3) and sufficient conditions for convergence to the hydrodynamic limit (Theorem 8). In the second part, we use the abstract results to treat a specific example, namely the Kawasaki dynamics with Ginzburg– Landau-type potential.

A two-scale approach to the hydrodynamic limit Part II: local Gibbs behavior

This work is a follow-up on Grunewald et al. (2009). In that previous work a two-scale approach was used to prove the logarithmic Sobolev inequality for a system of spins with fixed mean whose potential is a bounded perturbation of a Gaussian, and to derive an abstract theorem for the convergence to the hydrodynamic limit. This strategy was then successfully applied to Kawasaki dynamics. Here w...

Convex Sobolev inequalities and spectral gap Inégalités de Sobolev convexes et trou spectral

This note is devoted to the proof of convex Sobolev (or generalized Poincaré) inequalities which interpolate between spectral gap (or Poincaré) inequalities and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. We extend to the whole family of convex Sobolev inequalities results which have recently been obtained by Cattiaux [11] and Carlen and Loss [10] for logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. Under local conditi...

A Remark on Spectral Gap and Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities for Conservative Spin Systems

We observe that a class of conditional probability measures for unbounded spin systems with convex interactions satisses Poincar e and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. For the corresponding conservative dynamics in a box of linear size L we show that the inverse of the spectral gap and the logarithmic Sobolev constant scale as L 2 in any dimension. 2000 MSC: 60K35

Logarithmic Harnack inequalities∗

Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities first arose in the analysis of elliptic differential operators in infinite dimensions. Many developments and applications can be found in several survey papers [1, 9, 12]. Recently, Diaconis and Saloff-Coste [8] considered logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for Markov chains. The lower bounds for log-Sobolev constants can be used to improve convergence bounds for ...

Functional inequalities and uniqueness of the Gibbs measure — from log-Sobolev to Poincaré

In a statistical mechanics model with unbounded spins, we prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure under various assumptions on finite volume functional inequalities. We follow Royer’s approach ([11]) and obtain uniqueness by showing convergence properties of a Glauber-Langevin dynamics. The result was known when the measures on the box [−n, n] (with free boundary conditions) satisfied the same lo...
