Massart eq (4) — modified logarithmic Sobolev summand (single-fiber, ψ-form). For a probability measure μ\muμ (one conditional fiber of the entropy tensorization), a measurable ZZZ with eλZe^{\lambda Z}eλZ and λZeλZ\lambda Z e^{\lambda Z}λZeλZ integrable, and a constant reference exponent ccc (the leave-one-out value ZkZ_kZk​, which is σ(coords≠k)\sigma(\text{coords}\neq k)σ(coords=k)-measurable hence constant on the kkk-fiber), the entropy functional of eλZe^{\lambda Z}eλZ is bounded by the ψ-summand:

λ E[ZeλZ]−E[eλZ]log⁡E[eλZ]≤E[eλZ ψ(λ(Z−c))],ψ(x)=e−x−1+x.\lambda\,\mathbb{E}[Z e^{\lambda Z}] - \mathbb{E}[e^{\lambda Z}]\log \mathbb{E}[e^{\lambda Z}] \le \mathbb{E}\big[e^{\lambda Z}\,\psi(\lambda(Z-c))\big],\qquad \psi(x)=e^{-x}-1+x.λE[ZeλZ]−E[eλZ]logE[eλZ]≤E[eλZψ(λ(Z−c))],ψ(x)=e−x−1+x.

This is the per-coordinate conditional modified-LSI brick (BLM Theorem 6.6 / Massart's lemma). Summed over the coordinates kkk against the sub-additivity (Han) tensorization of entropy applied to eλZe^{\lambda Z}eλZ, it yields the full Massart eq (4) modified log-Sobolev inequality, which — with Bousquet's eq (6) per-summand bound and condition (3) — gives the differential inequality G′′≤v eλG'' \le v\,e^{\lambda}G′′≤veλ integrated by the Herbst step to the sub-gamma cgf bound. Proof: the constant-reference variational (dual) bound of entropy Entμ(Y)≤∫(Ylog⁡Y−Ylog⁡u−(Y−u))\mathrm{Ent}_\mu(Y)\le\int(Y\log Y - Y\log u-(Y-u))Entμ​(Y)≤∫(YlogY−Ylogu−(Y−u)) at Y=eλZY=e^{\lambda Z}Y=eλZ, u=eλc>0u=e^{\lambda c}>0u=eλc>0, followed by the pointwise identity ea(a−b)−(ea−eb)=ea(eb−a−(b−a)−1)=eaψ(a−b)e^{a}(a-b)-(e^{a}-e^{b})=e^{a}(e^{b-a}-(b-a)-1)=e^{a}\psi(a-b)ea(a−b)−(ea−eb)=ea(eb−a−(b−a)−1)=eaψ(a−b). Here ψ\psiψ is written inline as e−x−1+xe^{-x}-1+xe−x−1+x (= BLM's φ(−x)\varphi(-x)φ(−x), φ(x)=ex−x−1\varphi(x)=e^{x}-x-1φ(x)=ex−x−1).
