Convex Sobolev inequalities and spectral gap [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This note is devoted to the proof of convex Sobolev (or generalized Poincar\'{e}) inequalities which interpolate between spectral gap (or Poincar\'{e}) inequalities and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

Measuring public knowledge on nuclear weapons in the post-Cold War: dimensionality and measurement invariance across eight European countries

open access: yesMeasurement Instruments for the Social Sciences, 2021
Research on public opinion and international security has extensively examined attitudes toward nuclear weapons, but the diffusion of basic knowledge about nuclear weapons among the everyday citizens has nevertheless been mostly missed.

Gender inequalities during COVID-19

open access: yesGroup Processes & Intergroup Relations, 2021
The onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to progress toward gender equality and, instead, exacerbated existing gender inequalities across domains—from gendered divisions of labour to economic stability.

Poincar\'e inequality for non euclidean metrics and transportation cost inequalities on $\mathbb{R}^d$ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper, we consider Poincar\'e inequalities for non euclidean metrics on $\mathbb{R}^d$. These inequalities enable us to derive precise dimension free concentration inequalities for product measures. This technique is appropriate for a large scope

Exponential inequalities for martingales with applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The paper is devoted to establishing some general exponential inequalities for supermartingales. The inequalities improve or generalize many exponential inequalities of Bennett, Freedman, de la Pe\~{n}a, Pinelis and van de Geer.

COVID‐19 and Inequalities

open access: yesFiscal studies, 2020
This paper brings together evidence from various data sources and the most recent studies to describe what we know so far about the impacts of the COVID‐19 crisis on inequalities across several key domains of life, including employment and ability to ...

Health shocks adversely impact participation in the labour force in a working age population: a longitudinal analysis

open access: yesAustralian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2013
Background : It is well understood that health affects labour force participation (LFP). However, much of the published research has been on older (retiring age) populations and using subjective health measures. This paper aims to assess the impact of an

A general computer program for the Bell detection loophole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The difference between ideal experiments to test Bell's weak nonlocality and the real experiments leads to loopholes. Ideal experiments involve either inequalities (Bell) or equalities (Greenberger, Horne, Zeilinger).

Non-commutative Nash inequalities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A set of functional inequalities - called Nash inequalities - are introduced and analyzed in the context of quantum Markov process mixing. The basic theory of Nash inequalities is extended to the setting of non-commutative Lp spaces, where their ...
