Title: Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for matrices and matrix-valued functions.



Abstract: Logarithmic Sobolev inequality is a powerful functional tool to derive the convergence properties of a Markov semigroup and also isoperimetric inequaliies and concentration inequalities. I will discuss log-Sobolev inequalities for matrices and matrix-valued functions that are stable under tensorization.
