Lower Bound of KL-Divergence Between Two Gibbs Measures

Suppose we have two Gibbs measures with densities $$ p_f(x) \propto \exp(f(x)),\quad q_g(x)\propto \exp(g(x)). $$ Consider the KL-divergence between $p_f$ and $q_g$, as a functional of $f$ and $g$, ...

Is an infinite-dimensional "Lebesgue measure" uniquely determined by a set of positive finite measure?

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on a subset $C \subset \mathbb{R}^\infty$ of the space of sequences, and assume, for simplicity, that $C$ is closed and convex. We say that $\mu$ admits shifts if ...

Weak convergence rates for integral operators

Suppose $q=\sum_{i=1}^m\pi_i\delta_{x_i}$ is a discrete measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $q\ast \varphi_\epsilon$ denote the convolution of $q$ with some mollifier $\varphi_\epsilon$, so that $q\ast\...

Directions of differentiability of log-concave measures with infinite-dimensional support

I recently came across the very nice review "Differentiable Measures and the Malliavin Calculus" by Bogachev (1997) which begins by discussing measures $\mu$ on locally convex spaces $X$ ...
