Nous montrons que la constante de Poincaré d’une mesure log-concave dans l’espace euclidien est croissante le long du flot de la chaleur. En fait, le spectre entier de l’opérateur de Laplace associé est décroissant. Deux preuves de ces résultats sont données. La première preuve analyse un terme de courbure d’une certaine diffusion dépendant du temps, et la seconde preuve construit une application de transport contractante en suivant l’approche de Kim et Milman.

We show that the Poincaré constant of a log-concave measure in Euclidean space is monotone increasing along the heat flow. In fact, the entire spectrum of the associated Laplace operator is monotone decreasing. Two proofs of these results are given. The first proof analyzes a curvature term of a certain time-dependent diffusion, and the second proof constructs a contracting transport map following the approach of Kim and Milman.
