Logarithmic Sobolev inequality in manifolds with nonnegative curvature via the ABP method

Abstract

In this paper, we employ the ABP method developed by Brendle to establish the optimal $L^p$ logarithmic Sobolev inequality on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature, as well as a sharp $L^2$ logarithmic Sobolev inequality for submanifolds in manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature. The sharp constants in both inequalities depend on the asymptotic volume ratio of the ambient manifold.
