We investigate properties of measures in infinite dimensional spaces in terms of Poincar\'e inequalities. A Poincar\'e inequality states that the $L^2$ variance of an admissible function is controlled by the homogeneous $H^1$ norm. In the…

Probability measures satisfying a Poincar{\'e} inequality are known to enjoy a dimension free concentration inequality with exponential rate. A celebrated result of Bobkov and Ledoux shows that a Poincar{\'e} inequality automatically…
The aim of this paper is to establish various functional inequalities for the convolution of a compactly supported measure and a standard Gaussian distribution on Rd. We especially focus on getting good dependence of the constants on the…
We prove the following operator-coefficients free Poincar\'{e} inequality: $$|f(X)-E[f(X)]|_{2}\leq2|X|_{2}\|\widehat{\partial}_{X:B}[f(X)]\|_{\pi}, \quad f(X) \in \mathrm{dom}(\widehat{\partial}_{X:B}),$$ where $\|\cdot\|_{\pi}$ is the…
We prove that for a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, the Poincar\'e inequality for convex functions is equivalent to the weak transportation inequality with a quadratic-linear cost. This generalizes recent results by Gozlan et al. and…
We investigate discrete Poincar\'e inequalities on piecewise polynomial subspaces of the Sobolev spaces H(curl) and H(div) in three space dimensions. We characterize the dependence of the constants on the continuous-level constants, the…
We show how to use Lyapunov functions to obtain functional inequalities which are stronger than Poincar\'e inequality (for instance logarithmic Sobolev or $F$-Sobolev). The case of Poincar\'e and weak Poincar\'e inequalities was studied in…
Nonlinear Poincar\'e inequalities are indispensable tools in the study of dimension reduction and low-distortion embeddings of graphs into metric spaces, and have found remarkable algorithmic applications. A basic open problem, posed by Jon…

If Poincar{\'e} inequality has been studied by Bobkov for radial measures, few is known about the logarithmic Sobolev inequalty in the radial case. We try to fill this gap here using different methods: Bobkov's argument and…
In a statistical mechanics model with unbounded spins, we prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure under various assumptions on finite volume functional inequalities. We follow the approach of G. Royer (1999) and obtain uniqueness by showing…
We study generalized Poincar\'e inequalities. We prove that if a function satisfies a suitable inequality of Poincar\'e type, then the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function also obeys a meaningful estimate of similar form. As a by-product, we…
This note, mostly expository, is devoted to Poincar{\'e} and log-Sobolev inequalities for a class of Boltzmann-Gibbs measures with singular interaction. Such measures allow to model one-dimensional particles with confinement and singular…
We present two extensions of the one dimensional free Poincar\'e inequality similar in spirit to two classical refinements.
In this paper, we consider Poincar\'e inequalities for non euclidean metrics on $\mathbb{R}^d$. These inequalities enable us to derive precise dimension free concentration inequalities for product measures. This technique is appropriate for…
In this paper we will study the equivalence between super-Poincar\'e inequality and some log-Sobolev type inequalities, including weak log-Sobolev inequality and super log-Sobolev inequality. The explicit relations between associated rate…
In this paper we deal with free functional inequalities on the circle. There are some interesting changes as opposed to the classical case. For example, the free Poincar\'e inequality has a slight change which seems to account for the lack…
We establish an improved form of the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the Gaussian measure restricted to probability densities which satisfy a Poincar\'e inequality. The result implies a lower bound on the deficit in terms of…
We present a class of modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality, interpolating between Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, suitable for measures of the type $\exp(-|x|^\al)$ or more complex $\exp(-|x|^\al\log^\beta(2+|x|))$…
