On the domain of the Langevin free-energy pair, the pairing of the potential gradient with the score equals minus the mean Laplacian of the potential, that is minus the trace of the translation Hessian; consequently sigma4/4sigma^4/4 times the Fisher information is at most the squared norm of the pair's field plus sigma2sigma^2 times that trace.

Statement

In the setting of The Intrinsic Calculus on the Wasserstein Space: Standing Notation, with the space L2(ν;Rd)L^{2}(\nu;\mathbb{R}^{d}), its inner product ⟨⋅,⋅⟩ν\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle_{\nu} and its norm ∥⋅∥ν\lVert\cdot\rVert_{\nu}; finite Fisher information, the set P2I(Rd)\mathcal{P}_{2}^{\mathcal{I}}(\mathbb{R}^{d}), the score ξν\xi_{\nu} and the Fisher information I(ν)=∥ξν∥ν2\mathcal{I}(\nu)=\lVert\xi_{\nu}\rVert_{\nu}^{2} are those of that definition, and integrable is as in Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation §measures. Let VV be a confining potential on Rd\mathbb{R}^{d}, with gradient map ∇V:x↦DV(x)\nabla V:x\mapsto DV(x) and Laplacian ΔV\Delta V; let σ∈R\sigma\in\mathbb{R} be positive, with σ2=σσ\sigma^{2}=\sigma\sigma, σ22\tfrac{\sigma^{2}}{2} as in The Langevin Free-Energy Pair of a Confining Potential on the Wasserstein Space and σ44=σ22⋅σ22\tfrac{\sigma^{4}}{4}=\tfrac{\sigma^{2}}{2}\cdot\tfrac{\sigma^{2}}{2}; and let (D,DΣ,E,Σ)(\mathcal{D},\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma},\mathcal{E},\Sigma) be the Langevin free-energy pair with potential VV and noise intensity σ\sigma, a penalty pair by The Langevin Free-Energy Pair is a Wasserstein-Coercive Penalty Pair: Growth Bounds, Continuity of the Translation Hessian, and the First Variation of the Penalty §pair, with translation Hessian HE(ν)∈S(d)H_{\mathcal{E}}(\nu)\in\mathcal{S}(d) at ν∈D\nu\in\mathcal{D} and tr\mathrm{tr} the trace. The letter σ\sigma denotes the noise intensity; the swap map written σ\sigma in Couplings on Euclidean Space: Product Coupling, Swap, Finiteness of the Cost, Push-Forward Couplings, Modifying One Marginal, Quantisation, Gluing over a Finitely Supported Measure, and the Lipschitz Bound §swap is not used. Let ν∈DΣ\nu\in\mathcal{D}_{\Sigma}.

1. (The potential gradient paired with the score) The function ∥∇V∥2\lVert\nabla V\rVert^{2} is integrable with respect to ν\nu, so that the class of ∇V\nabla V belongs to L2(ν;Rd)L^{2}(\nu;\mathbb{R}^{d}) and is again written ∇V\nabla V; the function ΔV\Delta V is integrable with respect to ν\nu; and

⟨∇V,ξν⟩ν=−∫RdΔV dν=−tr HE(ν).\langle\nabla V,\xi_{\nu}\rangle_{\nu}=-\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}\Delta V\,d\nu=-\mathrm{tr}\,H_{\mathcal{E}}(\nu).

2. (Fisher information bound) With Σ(ν)=∇V+σ22ξν∈L2(ν;Rd)\Sigma(\nu)=\nabla V+\tfrac{\sigma^{2}}{2}\xi_{\nu}\in L^{2}(\nu;\mathbb{R}^{d}),

σ44 I(ν)≤∥Σ(ν)∥ν2+σ2 tr HE(ν).\tfrac{\sigma^{4}}{4}\,\mathcal{I}(\nu)\le\lVert\Sigma(\nu)\rVert_{\nu}^{2}+\sigma^{2}\,\mathrm{tr}\,H_{\mathcal{E}}(\nu).
