چکیده
We establish that Gaussian distributions are the optimizers for a particular optimization problem related to determining the hypercontractivity parameters for a pair of jointly Gaussian random variables.

An Extremal Inequality Motivated by the Vector Gaussian Broadcast Channel Problem
We prove a new extremal inequality, motivated by the vector Gaussian broadcast channel problem. As a corollary, this inequality yields a generalization of the classical vector entropy-power inequality (EPI). As another corollary, this inequality sheds insight into maximizing the differential entropy of the sum of two jointly distributed random variables.
متن کاملHypercontractivity and comparison of moments of iterated maxima and minima of independent random variables
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for hypercontractivity of the minima of nonnegative, i.i.d. random variables and of both the maxima of minima and the minima of maxima for such r.v.’s. It turns out that the idea of hypercontractivity for minima is closely related to small ball probabilities and Gaussian correlation inequalities.
متن کاملOn an Extremal Data Processing Inequality for long Markov Chains
We pose the following extremal conjecture: Let X,Y be jointly Gaussian random variables with linear correlation ρ. For any random variables U, V for which U,X, Y, V form a Markov chain, in that order, we conjecture that: 2−2[I(X;V )+I(Y ;U)] ≥ (1− ρ2)2−2I(U ;V ) + ρ22−2[I(X;U)+I(Y ;V . By letting V be constant, we see that this inequality generalizes a well-known extremal result proved by Ooham...
متن کاملHypercontractivity in Non-commutative Holomorphic Spaces
We prove an analog of Janson’s strong hypercontractivity inequality in a class of non-commutative “holomorphic” algebras. Our setting is the q-Gaussian algebras Γq associated to the q-Fock spaces of Bozejko, Kümmerer and Speicher, for q ∈ [−1, 1]. We construct subalgebras Hq ⊂ Γq , a q-Segal-Bargmann transform, and prove Janson’s strong hypercontractivity L(Hq)→ L(Hq) for r an even integer.
متن کاملInformation-Theoretic Perspectives on Brascamp-Lieb Inequality and Its Reverse
We introduce an inequality which may be viewed as a generalization of both the Brascamp-Lieb inequality and its reverse (Barthe’s inequality), and prove its information-theoretic (i.e. entropic) formulation. This result leads to a unified approach to functional inequalities such as the variational formula of Rényi entropy, hypercontractivity and its reverse, strong data processing inequalities,...
