Transport-Entropy inequalities on the line
Full-text: Access has been disabled (more information)
Abstract
We give a necessary and sucient condition for transport entropy inequalities in dimension one. As an application, we construct a new example of a probability distribution verifying Talagrand's $T_2$ inequality and not the logarithmic Sobolev inequality.
