Title: Bakry-Emery meet Villani
Speaker: Fabrice Baudoin (Purude)
Time and place: Friday, December 6, 2013 3:30 pm MSB 203
Abstract: We study gradient bounds for solutions of degenerate Fokker-Planck
equations on manifolds, including as a special case, the celebrated kinetic
Fokker-Planck equation. Our method generalizes to degenerate hypoelliptic
operators the Bakry-Emery's approach and allows to recover and strengthen
hypocoercive estimates obtained by Villani.
