Read the background

Every centered log-concave probability measure with a Lebesgue density in R^n and linear a-subgaussian marginals satisfies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality with constant at most C a^2, uniformly in dimension.

Why it matters

If correct, resolves the dimension-free logarithmic Sobolev question for subgaussian log-concave measures.

What counts as progress

Do subgaussian tails of every linear function force a dimension-free log-Sobolev inequality for log-concave measures?
