Heat flow, decay of the Fisher information, and $\lambda$-displacement convexity
In the whole post I will work in the flat torus $\mathbb T^d=\mathbb R^d/\mathbb Z^d$ and $\rho$ will stand for any probability measure $\mathcal P(\mathbb T^d)$. This question is strongly related to ...

(geodesic) smoothness of f-divergence with respect to the Wasserstein metric
We consider the f-divergence, which takes the form
$$
D_f(P \| Q) = \int_\Omega f\left(\frac{dP}{dQ}\right) dQ.
$$
For example, when $f(t) = t \log t$, we obtain the KL-divergence.
My question is ...
