Plain-English statement
A generator log-Sobolev inequality controls density entropy by entropy production.
Mathematical statement
KL(rho mu || mu) <= (C/2) E(rho,log rho) for every admissible density rho.
Intuition
Entropy production rules out densities that retain large information while dissipating too slowly.
Conditions
- mu is a probability measure
- rho is nonnegative with unit mass
- entropy and generator energy are integrable
- C is positive
Why these conditions cannot be dropped
- unit mass makes rho a probability density
- finite integrals give mathematical meaning to both sides
Proof route
- this is the exact source definition
- KL decay and the Langevin Fisher-information form are separate routes
Lean interface notes
- Real.log is totalized and rho*log(rho) implements the zero-density convention
- all density conditions are bundled in LogSobolevAdmissible
Read the mathematics first, then descend into Lean
You do not need to know Lean before opening this panel. The page keeps the paper-level theorem, rigorous proof obligations, exact Lean declaration, and proof dependencies as separate layers so a first-time reader can move down one layer at a time.
Proof architecture
Start with the tree when learning: prerequisites sit below the theorem and downstream results sit above it. Switch to the network when you want to understand where this declaration lives in the local formal library. Every mapped node is clickable.
Graph rule: only dependencies found by the ASTIS source scan are drawn. Missing tactic indirection is treated as an under-approximation; the site never invents an edge just to make a prettier graph.
How to read the exact Lean declaration
Read a Lean theorem left-to-right exactly as you would unpack a mathematical sentence: name → ambient types → automatically inferred structures → explicit hypotheses → conclusion → proof. Then read the proof top-to-bottom as transformations of the current goal.

by, ask what each tactic does to the mathematical goal—not only what syntax it uses.

This glossary is filtered to syntax that actually occurs in the declaration above. Open a symbol only when you meet it, rather than memorizing Lean grammar in advance.
Source voice and ASTIS voice stay separate
When Samplinglib shows a short quotation from Chewi, it is labeled as a source excerpt and linked to the canonical book page. Intuition, expanded proof steps, hidden regularity assumptions, and Lean explanations are ASTIS-authored commentary. A quotation never substitutes for a formal proof, and an ASTIS explanation is never attributed to the textbook author.
