Poincar\'{e} and transportation inequalities for Gibbs measures under the Dobrushin uniqueness condition

Probability 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In in this paper we establish an explicit and sharp estimate of the spectral gap (Poincar\'{e} inequality) and the transportation inequality for Gibbs measures, under the Dobrushin uniqueness condition. Moreover, we give a generalization of the Liggett's MϵM-\epsilon theorem for interacting particle systems.
