### Transportation-information inequalities for continuum Gibbs measures

#### Abstract

The objective of this paper is to establish explicit concentration inequalities for the Glauber dynamics related with continuum or discrete Gibbs measures. At first we establish the optimal transportation-information $W_1 I$-inequality for the $M/M/\infty$-queue associated with the Poisson measure, which improves several previous known results. Under the Dobrushin's uniqueness condition, we obtain some explicit $W_1 I$-inequalities for Gibbs measures both in the continuum and in the discrete lattice. Our method is a combination of Lipschitzian spectral gap, the Lyapunov test function approach and the tensorization technique.
