DESCRIPTION:It is well-known that Gaussian random variables have many attr
 active properties: they are maximum entropy\, they are stable under additi
 on and scaling\, they give equality in the Entropy Power Inequality (and h
 ence give sharp log-Sobolev inequalities) and have good entropy concavity 
 properties. I will discuss the extent to which results of this kind can be
  formulated for discrete random variables\, and how they relate to ideas o
 f discrete log-concavity.  <br><br><br><br><br>
