Poincar\'e type inequalities for compact degenerate pure jump Markov processes

We aim in proving Poincar\'e inequalities for a class of pure jump Markov processes inspired by the model introduced in \cite{G-L} by Galves and L\"ocherbach to describe the behaviour of interacting brain neurons. In particular, we consider neurons with degenerate jumps, i.e. that lose their memory when they spike, while the probability of a spike depends on the actual position and thus the past of the whole neural system.
