Sharp Small-Volume Isoperimetry from Log-Sobolev Inequalities

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Let $I_{\inf}(a):=\lim_{n\to\infty}I_{n}(a)=\inf_{n\ge1}I_{n}(a)$ be the asymptotic isoperimetric profile for product of a weighted Riemannian manifold satisfying $\mathrm{CD}(0,\infty)$ and, more broadly, for product of a nonsmooth subspace with density that can be approximated by a sequence of densities satisfying $\mathrm{CD}(0,\infty)$. We establish the following identity: \[ \lim_{a\downarrow0}\frac{I_{\inf}(a)}{a\sqrt{2\ln(1/a)}}=\sqrt{K_{\mathrm{LS}}}, \] where $K_{\mathrm{LS}}$ is the optimal log-Sobolev constant. The same argument also yields the large-deviation and moderate-deviation asymptotics for isoperimetry.
