Abstract : In the setting of essentially non-branching metric measure spaces, we prove the equivalence between the curvature dimension condition CD(K,N), in the sense of Lott — Sturm — Villani, and a newly introduced notion that we call strong Brunn — Minkowski inequality SBM(K,N)....

Abstract : In this paper, we put forward an argument which leads from the Brunn-Minkowski inequality to a class of Poincaré-type inequality for torsional rigidity on the boundary of a convex body of class C2+ in $\rnnn$ 2.The Reverse-log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality (arXiv) Abstract : Fir...

Hoeffding’s Inequality is an important concentration inequality in Mathematical Statistics and Machine Learning (ML), leveraged extensively in theoretically areas such as Statistical Learning Theory as well as applied areas such as Reinforcement Learning. I have noticed in pockets of the ML...
