| contents | Remarkable progress has been made in recent years to establish log-Sobolev type inequalities under the assumption of discrete Ricci curvature bounds. More specfically, Salez and Youssef have proven that the log-Sobolev constant can be lower bounded by the Bakry Emery curvature lower bound divided by the logarithm of the sparsity parameter. They conjectured that the same holds true when replacing Bakry Emery by Ollivier curvature which is often times easier to compute in practice. In this paper, we show that this conjecture is wrong by giving a counter example on birth death chains of increasing length. |
