Pushing a measure with finite entropy and second moment forward by the gradient of a twice continuously differentiable function whose Hessian is pinched between two positive multiples of the identity keeps both finite, and lowers the entropy by the mean of log det of the Hessian.

Statement

In the setting of Wasserstein Spaces, Random Vectors, Vector Fields and Symmetric Matrices in Every Dimension: Standing Notation, with the set P2(Rd)\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) of probability measures with finite second moment, and with finite entropy, the entropy Ent\mathrm{Ent} and the set P2Ent(Rd)\mathcal{P}_{2}^{\mathrm{Ent}}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) as in that definition. Let Φ:RdR\Phi:\mathbb{R}^{d}\to\mathbb{R} be of class C2C^{2} on Rd\mathbb{R}^{d}, which is open by claim 1 of Euclidean Space is Open in Itself, and CkC^k Maps are Continuous, with Hessian matrix D2Φ(x)D^{2}\Phi(x) and gradient map Φ:xDΦ(x)\nabla\Phi:x\mapsto D\Phi(x) as in Differential Calculus and Convexity on Euclidean Open Sets: Standing Notation §derivatives, and let ε\varepsilon and LL be positive real numbers with εIdD2Φ(x)LId\varepsilon I_{d}\preceq D^{2}\Phi(x)\preceq L\,I_{d} for every xRdx\in\mathbb{R}^{d}. The map Φ\nabla\Phi is Borel by The Gradient of a Twice Continuously Differentiable Function with Hessian Pinched between Two Positive Multiples of the Identity is a Bi-Lipschitz Bijection of Euclidean Space with Continuously Differentiable Inverse §bijection, The Gradient of a Twice Continuously Differentiable Function with Hessian Pinched between Two Positive Multiples of the Identity is a Bi-Lipschitz Bijection of Euclidean Space with Continuously Differentiable Inverse §inverse and Change of Variables for the Lebesgue Integral under a Continuously Differentiable Bijection of Euclidean Space with Symmetric Positive Definite Jacobian Matrix, and the Density of a Push-Forward §regularity, and 0<detD2Φ(x)0<\det D^{2}\Phi(x) for every xx by Determinants of Positive Definite Matrices: Positivity, the Bound logdetAtrAd\log\det A\le\mathrm{tr}\,A-d, Bounds under Pinching, and the Expansion of det(I+tB)\det(I+tB) §pinching and Determinants of Positive Definite Matrices: Positivity, the Bound logdetAtrAd\log\det A\le\mathrm{tr}\,A-d, Bounds under Pinching, and the Expansion of det(I+tB)\det(I+tB) §positive, with det\det the determinant and log\log the natural logarithm. Let μP2Ent(Rd)\mu\in\mathcal{P}_{2}^{\mathrm{Ent}}(\mathbb{R}^{d}).

1. (Second moment) (Φ)#μP2(Rd)(\nabla\Phi)_{\#}\mu\in\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}).

2. (Entropy) The function xlogdetD2Φ(x)x\mapsto\log\det D^{2}\Phi(x) is Borel and bounded, (Φ)#μP2Ent(Rd)(\nabla\Phi)_{\#}\mu\in\mathcal{P}_{2}^{\mathrm{Ent}}(\mathbb{R}^{d}), and

Ent((Φ)#μ)=Ent(μ)RdlogdetD2Φdμ.\mathrm{Ent}\bigl((\nabla\Phi)_{\#}\mu\bigr)=\mathrm{Ent}(\mu)-\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}\log\det D^{2}\Phi\,d\mu .
