2 Notation

4 Notation Given a probability measure ν on some Euclidean space, the Poincaré constant c p (ν) is the best constant such that : g L 2 (ν), ( 2 Var ν (g) := g g dν) dµ cp (ν) g 2 dµ. For a random vector X µ we write c p (X) = c p (µ), i.e. we ask Var ( g(x) ) c p (X) E [ g(x) 2].
5 Notation Given a probability measure ν on some Euclidean space, the Poincaré constant c p (ν) is the best constant such that : g L 2 (ν), ( 2 Var ν (g) := g g dν) dµ cp (ν) g 2 dµ. For a random vector X µ we write c p (X) = c p (µ), i.e. we ask Var ( g(x) ) c p (X) E [ g(x) 2]. For a probability measure µ on R n with density e V, or for a random vector X µ, we define the group of isometries leaving µ or X invariant as O n (µ) = O n (X) := {R O n ; RX X} = {R O n ; V R = V }. Furthermore, for any isometry R O n set Fix(R) := {x R n ; Rx = x}.

11 Hörmarnder s L 2 -method
12 Hörmarnder s L 2 -method Lemma (Bochner, Hörmarnder, etc. ) Let V be a C 2 -smooth function on R n with Z V := e V < +, and V dx introduce dµ(x) = e Z V. Then, for C > 0, the following assertions are equivalent: 1 For every function f L 2 (µ), we have Var µ (f) C f 2 dµ 2 For every function u L 2 (µ), we have 1 u 2 D 2 V (x) u(x) u(x) dµ(x) + C D 2 u(x) 2 dµ(x).
13 Hörmarnder s L 2 -method Sketch of the proof Introduce the differential operator Lu := u V u. L is negative self-adjoint on L 2 (µ) with ulv dµ = u v dµ. We have ker(l) = {constant functions}. Crucial integration by parts formula: for all (smooth) u, D (Lu) 2 dµ = D 2 V (x) u(x) u(x) dµ(x) + 2 u(x) 2 dµ So the right-hand side in 2) is exactly (Lu) 2 dµ. Proof of 2) 1). For f L 2 (µ) with f dµ = 0, introduce u L 2 (µ) such that f = Lu and use f 2 dµ = flu dµ f 2 dµ C u 2 dµ f 2 dµ (Lu) 2 dµ.
14 Hörmarnder s L 2 -method Lemma (Bochner, Hörmarnder, etc. ) Let V be a C 2 -smooth function on R n with Z V := e V < +, and V dx introduce dµ(x) = e Z V. Then, for C > 0, the following assertions are equivalent: 1 For every function f L 2 (µ), we have Var µ (f) C f 2 dµ 2 For every function u L 2 (µ), we have 1 u 2 D 2 V (x) u(x) u(x) dµ(x) + C D 2 u(x) 2 dµ(x).
15 Hörmarnder s L 2 -method Lemma (Bochner, Hörmarnder, etc. ) Let V be a C 2 -smooth function on R n with Z V := e V < +, and V dx introduce dµ(x) = e Z V. Then, for C > 0, the following assertions are equivalent: 1 For every function f L 2 (µ), we have Var µ (f) C f 2 dµ 2 For every function u L 2 (µ), we have 1 u 2 D 2 V (x) u(x) u(x) dµ(x) + C D 2 u(x) 2 dµ(x). Formally, for the (negative) operator L = V on L 2 (µ) 1 expresses that L 1 C. 2 expresses that ( L) 2 1 C ( L).
16 Hörmarnder s L 2 -method Lemma (Bochner, Hörmarnder, etc. ) Let V be a C 2 -smooth function on R n with Z V := e V < +, and V dx introduce dµ(x) = e Z V. Then, for C > 0, the following assertions are equivalent: 1 For every function f L 2 (µ), we have Var µ (f) C f 2 dµ 2 For every function u L 2 (µ), we have 1 u 2 D 2 V (x) u(x) u(x) dµ(x) + C D 2 u(x) 2 dµ(x). The equivalence also holds for classes of O n (µ) invariant functions, because L commutes with the such isometries. More precisely, for R O n (µ) (i.e. if V is R-invariant), we have the equivalence: 1 For every function f L 2 (µ) that is R-invariant, we have... 2 For every function u L 2 (µ) that is R-invariant, we have...

Then, for C > 0, the following assertions are equivalent: 1 For every function f L 2 (µ), we have Var µ (f) C f 2 dµ 2 For every function u L 2 (µ), we have 1 u 2 D 2 V (x) u(x) u(x) dµ(x) + C D 2 u(x) 2 dµ(x).
18 Invariances
19 Invariances We write P F for the orthogonal projection onto a subspace. We will consider distributions µ on R n satisfying (HYP): (HYP) There exists R 1,..., R m O n (µ) and c 1,..., c m > 0 such that, m setting E i := Fix(R i ), we have c i P Ei = Id. i=1 i.e. m c i P Ei v 2 = v 2 v R n. i=1

If µ has the invariances of the simplex n, i.e µ invariant under permutation of the coordinates (note that O n ( n ) = S n ). Then we have (HYP ) and (HYP). Setting u ij = e i e j 2 for i j, we have S uij O n (µ) and 1 n 1 i=1 u ij u ij = Id. i j
24 Restrictions
25 Restrictions For F R n and E = F, and µ a measure on R n with density e V, define the measure µ x,e to be the normalized restriction of µ to x + E = P F x + E, i.e. the probability measure on E given by ( ) dµ x,e (y) := e V y + P F x dy E e V (z+p F x) dz, y E. In other words, if X µ, then E ( X P F X = P F x ) µ x,e.

28 Ideas of the argument
29 Ideas of the argument We need to understand how the L 2 argument combines with invariances. This is done by using proper restrictions and Fubini. Let us explain the argument in the case we are working with a invariance by a reflection S θ.

Let us explain the argument in the case we are working with a invariance by a reflection S θ. If f is S θ -invariant, then so is the u such that f = Lu. But this means that θ u is odd in the direction θ.

[ 1 ] Therefore we have E c p (X P θ X) ( θu) 2 (X) E [ ( θθu) 2 2 (X) ].

[ 1 ] Therefore we have E c p (X P θ X) ( θu) 2 (X) E [ ( θθu) 2 2 (X) ]. Putting all the invariances together, using the decomposition of the identity to decompose the norms we get, because of log-concavity : (Lu) 2 dµ D 2 u 2 dµ = c i P Ei D 2 up Ei 2 dµ 1 c i c p (x, E i ) P E i u(x) 2 dµ.
34 Consequences Recall the result: for f : R n R such that f R i = f for all i m, we have ( ) m Var µ (f) c p (µ x,ei ) c i P Ei f(x) 2 dµ(x). i=1
35 Consequences Recall the result: for f : R n R such that f R i = f for all i m, we have ( ) m Var µ (f) c p (µ x,ei ) c i P Ei f(x) 2 dµ(x). i=1 Variance estimates (i.e. for f(x) = x 2 ) for log-concave distributions. We can use a result of Bobkov/KLS to control spectral gap of the conditioned measures: : c p (ν) c x 2 dν(x). Example of result : If µ is log-concave isotropic and verifies (HYP) then Var µ ( x 2 ) C m i=1 c i dim(e i ) 2 C n max i m dim(e i) If µ is log-concave (isotropic) satisfies (HYP ) then µ satisfies the variance conjecture : Var µ ( x 2 ) C n.

For this, we present two ways of proceeding. One can make a symmetrization argument to extend our inequality to every function f. This requires to use the spectral gap for the Cayley graph given by the group of isometries and a family of generators. Analyze the invariance properties of eigenfunctions.
37 Examples of results for spectral gap
38 Examples of results for spectral gap Theorem Let X µ be a log-concave measure and R 1,..., R m O n (µ) such that i m Fix(R i) = {0}. Then, setting E i = Fix(R i ), we have c p (µ) max i m sup c p (µ x,ei ) c max E [ P Ei X 2 P ] x Fix(R i) i m Fix(Ri)X.
39 Examples of results for spectral gap Theorem Let X µ be a log-concave measure and R 1,..., R m O n (µ) such that i m Fix(R i) = {0}. Then, setting E i = Fix(R i ), we have c p (µ) max i m sup c p (µ x,ei ) c max E [ P Ei X 2 P ] x Fix(R i) i m Fix(Ri)X. Then, one can use the deep result a E. Milman on stability of spectral gap, and cut-off to a bounded convex domain. Problem : we may loose the invariance. We also need to control the number of isometries we need. Theorem Under the same assumptions, suppose also that each R i acts as a permutation on the set {E 1,..., E m }. Then, c p (µ) c log(m) 2 max i m dim(e i). Theorem If S u1,..., S um O n (µ) such that Fix(S uj ) = {0}. Then, c p (µ) c log(n) 2.
40 Examples of results for spectral gap In the sequel, we will use the following particular case of the result : Theorem Let X µ is a log-concave measure and if S u1,..., S um O n (µ) reflections such that Fix(S uj ) = {0}, then c p (µ) max i m sup x u i c p (µ x,rui )

55 Argument The density of µ n is e V (x1) V (x2)...v (xn) and so its restriction to xi = ρ has the symmetries of the simplex. So we know that, setting u i,j = ei ej 2 we have c p (µ n,ρ ) c sup i j sup c p ((µ n,ρ ) z,rui,j ) z u i,j
56 Argument The density of µ n is e V (x1) V (x2)...v (xn) and so its restriction to xi = ρ has the symmetries of the simplex. So we know that, setting u i,j = ei ej 2 we have c p (µ n,ρ ) c sup i j sup z u i,j c p ((µ n,ρ ) z,rui,j ) Fix z u 1,2. The density of (µ n,ρ ) z,ru1,2 on z + Ru 1,2 is V (z1+ t e 2 ) V (z 1 t 2 ) V (z 3)... V (z n), renormalized. So we have d(µ n,ρ ) z,ru1,2 = e V (z1+ t 2 ) V (z 1 t 2 ) dt. V (z e 1+ 2 ) V (z 1 2 ) So indeed, it is of the form µ 2,z1.
