Streszczenie

We provide a mild sufficient condition for a probability measure on the real line to satisfy a modified log-Sobolev inequality for convex functions, interpolating between the classical log-Sobolev inequality and a Bobkov–Ledoux type inequality. As a consequence we obtain dimension-free two-level concentration results for convex functions of independent random variables with sufficiently regular tail decay.

We also provide a link between modified log-Sobolev inequalities for convex functions and weak transport-entropy inequalities, complementing recent work by Gozlan, Roberto, Samson, and Tetali.
