We study the Gromov waist in the sense of $t$-neighborhoods for measures in the Euclidean space, motivated by the famous theorem of Gromov about the waist of radially symmetric Gaussian measures. In particular, it turns our possible to extend Gromovs original result to the case of not necessarily radially symmetric Gaussian measure. We also provide examples of measures having no $t$-neighborhood waist property, including a rather wide class of compactly supported radially symmetric measures and their maps into the Euclidean space of dimension at least 2. We use a simpler form of Gromovs pancake argument to produce some estimates of $t$-neighborhoods of (weighted) volume-critical submanifolds in the spirit of the waist theorems, including neighborhoods of algebraic manifolds in the complex projective space. For readers convenience, in one appendix of this paper we provide a more detailed explanation of the Caffarelli theorem that we use to handle not necessarily radially symmetric Gaussian measures. In the other appendix, we provide a comparison of different variations of Gromovs pancake method.

Reliable calculations of financial risk require that the fat-tailed nature of prices changes is included in risk measures. To this end, a non-Gaussian approach to financial risk management is presented, modeling the power-law tails of the returns distribution in terms of a Student-$t$ (or Tsallis) distribution. Non-Gaussian closed-form solutions for Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall are obtained and standard formulae known in the literature under the normality assumption are recovered as a special case. The implications of the approach for risk management are demonstrated through an empirical analysis of financial time series from the Italian stock market. Detailed comparison with the results of the widely used procedures of quantitative finance, such as parametric normal approach, RiskMetrics methodology and historical simulation, as well as with previous findings in the literature, are shown and commented. Particular attention is paid to quantify the size of the errors affecting the risk measures obtained according to different methodologies, by employing a bootstrap technique.
If Poincar{e} inequality has been studied by Bobkov for radial measures, few is known about the logarithmic Sobolev inequalty in the radial case. We try to fill this gap here using different methods: Bobkovs argument and super-Poincar{e} inequalities, direct approach via L1-logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. We also give various examples where the obtained bounds are quite sharp. Recent bounds obtained by Lee-Vempala in the logconcave bounded case are refined for radial measures.
Let $gamma$ be the standard Gaussian measure on $mathbb{R}^n$ and let $mathcal{P}_{gamma}$ be the space of probability measures that are absolutely continuous with respect to $gamma$. We study lower bounds for the functional $mathcal{F}_{gamma}(mu) = {rm Ent}(mu) - frac{1}{2} W^2_2(mu, u)$, where $mu in mathcal{P}_{gamma}, u in mathcal{P}_{gamma}$, ${rm Ent}(mu) = int logbigl( frac{mu}{gamma}bigr) d mu$ is the relative Gaussian entropy, and $W_2$ is the quadratic Kantorovich distance. The minimizers of $mathcal{F}_{gamma}$ are solutions to a dimension-free Gaussian analog of the (real) Kahler-Einstein equation. We show that $mathcal{F}_{gamma}(mu) $ is bounded from below under the assumption that the Gaussian Fisher information of $ u$ is finite and prove a priori estimates for the minimizers. Our approach relies on certain stability estimates for the Gaussian log-Sobolev and Talagrand transportation inequalities.
We derive the invariant measure on the manifold of multimode quantum Gaussian states, induced by the Haar measure on the group of Gaussian unitary transformations. To this end, by introducing a bipartition of the system in two disjoint subsystems, we use a parameterization highlighting the role of nonlocal degrees of freedom -- the symplectic eigenvalues -- which characterize quantum entanglement across the given bipartition. A finite measure is then obtained by imposing a physically motivated energy constraint. By averaging over the local degrees of freedom we finally derive the invariant distribution of the symplectic eigenvalues in some cases of particular interest for applications in quantum optics and quantum information.
We introduce a probability distribution on $mathcal{P}([0,1]^d)$, the space of all Borel probability measures on $[0,1]^d$. Under this distribution, almost all measures are shown to have infinite upper quasi-Assouad dimension and zero lower quasi-Assouad dimension (hence the upper and lower Assouad dimensions are almost surely infinite or zero). We also indicate how the results extend to other Assouad-like dimensions.
