Abstract
In this introductory talk we consider logarithmic Sobolev inequalities
(LSI) and their relationship with the Poincare and Talagrand inequalities.
We review the well-known Holley-Stroock and Bakry-Emery conditions for LSI. Finally, we explain the idea behind the two-scale method for LSI (see Grunewald-Otto-Villani-W.). If time permits, we will also discuss the two-scale method for the hydrodynamic limit
