Logarithmic Sobolev and exponential inequalities for submanifolds in Cartan--Hadamard manifolds
Abstract
We establish a logarithmic Sobolev inequality for complete C1,1 immersed submanifolds of dimension m≥2 in Cartan--Hadamard manifolds with sectional curvature at most −b2. The inequality retains the Euclidean sharp constant after subtraction of (m−1)2b2 from the Fisher and mean-curvature energy; this coefficient is maximal for a lower bound uniform over b≥0. For immersed surfaces, we prove both a finite-domain critical exponential inequality and a global Ruf-type inequality with a positive L2 term. Both have potential |H|2−b2, exponent 16π and an absolute multiplicative constant, and follow from one geometric heat-kernel comparison. The exponent and curvature coefficient are optimal. We classify Gaussian equality in the logarithmic inequality and geometric equality in the higher-dimensional Nash consequence. All inequality constants are independent of the codimension.

AB - We establish a logarithmic Sobolev inequality for complete C^1,1 immersed submanifolds of dimension m≥2 in Cartan--Hadamard manifolds with sectional curvature at most −b^2. The inequality retains the Euclidean sharp constant after subtraction of (m−1)^2b^2 from the Fisher and mean-curvature energy; this coefficient is maximal for a lower bound uniform over b≥0. For immersed surfaces, we prove both a finite-domain critical exponential inequality and a global Ruf-type inequality with a positive L^2 term. Both have potential |H|^2−b^2, exponent 16π and an absolute multiplicative constant, and follow from one geometric heat-kernel comparison. The exponent and curvature coefficient are optimal. We classify Gaussian equality in the logarithmic inequality and geometric equality in the higher-dimensional Nash consequence. All inequality constants are independent of the codimension.
