Theorem · version 1

Transporting the proposed bound beyond isotropic measures

Statement

If every isotropic log-concave probability measure has Poincaré constant at most C, then every full-dimensional log-concave probability measure μ with covariance Σ satisfies C_P(μ) ≤ C ‖Σ‖op.

Assumptions

  • Finite nonsingular covariance and a log-concave probability density.
  • The same universal constant C is assumed in the isotropic theorem.

Scope

This affine-transfer implication does not establish the premise or a numerical value of C. Singular covariance requires a formulation on its affine support.

The authors credit ChatGPT with many proof ideas and arguments, and credit the suspension idea and exposition to the human authors. Their approach uses a criterion of Song and Zhang; these are distinct papers with a mathematical dependency, not wholly independent proofs.
