β¦ Synopsis
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.

We obtain a log-Sobolev inequality with a neat and explicit potential for the gradient on a based loop space over a compact Riemannian manifold. The potential term relies only on the curvature of the manifold and the Hessian of the heat kernel, and is L p -integrable for all p 1. The log-Sobolev ine
In this paper we prove that [C(p)] 1=p grows like β p as p β β and give an estimate C(p) 6 (3 β 2) p p p=2 .
