Abstract

We prove new Lipschitz properties for transport maps along heat flows, constructed by Kim and Milman. For (semi)-log-concave measures and Gaussian mixtures, our bounds have several applications: eigenvalues comparisons, dimensional functional inequalities, and domination of distribution functions.
