We study the second best constant problem for logarithmic Sobolev inequalities on complete Riemannian manifolds and investigate its relationship with optimal heat kernel bounds and the existence of extremal functions.

dedicated to professor norio shimakura on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday In this paper, we will give a sufficient condition on the logarithmic derivative of the heat kernel under which a logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI, in abbreviation) on a loop space holds. As an application, we prove
We show that for any positive function f on the discrete cube [0, 1] n , where + n p is the product measure of the Bernoulli measure with probability of success p, as well as related inequalities, which may be shown to imply in the limit the classical Gaussian logarithmic Sobolev inequality as well
In this paper we will prove the logarithmic Sobolev inequality on free loop groups for various heat kernel measures which P. Malliavin (1989Malliavin ( , 1991, in ``Diffusion Process and Related Problems in Analysis (M. A. Pinsley, Ed.), Vol. I, Birkha user, Basel) constructed. Those measures are as
