Some inequalities on Riemannian manifolds linking Entropy,Fisher information, Stein discrepancy and Wasserstein distance

Abstract: For a complete connected Riemannian manifold $M$ let $V\in C^2(M)$ be such that $\mu(d x)={\rm e}^{-V(x)} \mbox{vol}(d x)$ is a probability measure on $M$. Taking $\mu$ as reference measure, we derive inequalities for probability measures on $M$ linking relative entropy, Fisher information, Stein discrepancy and Wasserstein distance. These inequalities strengthen in particular the famous log-Sobolev and transportation-cost inequality and extend the so-called Entropy/Stein-discrepancy/Information (HSI) inequality established by Ledoux, Nourdin and Peccati (2015) for the standard Gaussian measure on Euclidean space to the setting of Riemannian manifolds.
