Characterization of an integral operator with a Bessel kernel
I am considering the following integral operator: $$K(\sigma)(\theta)=\int_0^{2\pi} \sigma(\theta') J_0(|e^{i\theta}-e^{i\theta'}|)\,d\theta',$$ where $J_0$ is the Bessel function of order $0.$
I am ...

Does quadratic asymptotic growth imply log-Sobolev inequality?
Let $f : \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow [0,\infty)$ be a smooth function and consider $h$ s.t $h(\vec{x}) = f(\vec{x}) + \lambda \Vert \vec{x} \Vert^2$.
Does this imply that irrespective of any other ...
