New bounds are given on the contraction of certain generalized forms of the relative entropy of two positive semi-definite operators under completely positive mappings. In addition, several conjectures are presented, one of which would give a strengthening of strong subadditivity. As an application of these bounds in the classical discrete case, a new proof of 2-point logarithmic Sobolev inequalities is presented in an Appendix.

AbstractWe study dynamical optimal transport metrics between density matrices associated to symmetric Dirichlet forms on finite-dimensional $$C^*$$ C ∗ -algebras. Our setting covers arbitrary skew-derivations and it provides a unified framework that simultaneously generalizes recently constructed transport metrics for Markov chains, Lindblad equations, and the Fermi Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroup. We develop a non-nommutative differential calculus that allows us to obtain non-commutative Ricci curvature bounds, logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, transport-entropy inequalities, and spectral gap estimates.
