Abstract
<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We show that there are no general stability results for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality in terms of the Wasserstein distances and <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ L^{p}(d\gamma) $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> distance for <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ p&gt;1 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>. To this end, we construct a sequence of centered probability measures such that the deficit of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality converges to zero but the relative entropy and the moments do not, which leads to instability for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. As an application, we prove instability results for Talagrand's transportation inequality and the Beckner–Hirschman inequality.</p>
