Poincar{\'e} inequalities are ubiquitous in probability and analysis and have various applications in statistics (concentration of measure, rate of convergence of Markov chains). The Poincar{\'e} constant, for which the inequality is tight,…

We prove Lp Poincare inequalities for functions on the discrete cube and their discrete gradient. We thus recover an exponential inequality and the concentration phenomenon for the uniform probability on the cube first obtained by Bobkov…

This paper presents an elementary proof of stochastic stability of a discrete-time reversible Markov chain starting from a Foster-Lyapunov drift condition. Besides its relative simplicity, there are two salient features of the proof: (i) it…

We prove a new vectorial functional inequality of Poincar\'{e}-Beckner type. The inequality may be interpreted as an entropy-entropy production one for a gradient flow in the metric space of Radon measures. The proof uses subtle analysis of…

Preconditioned eigenvalue solvers offer the possibility to incorporate preconditioners for the solution of large-scale eigenvalue problems, as they arise from the discretization of partial differential equations. The convergence analysis of…

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…

We construct Markov semi-groups $\mathcal{T}$ and associated BMO-spaces on a finite von Neumann algebra $(\mathcal{M}, \tau)$ and obtain results for perturbations of commutators and non-commutative Lipschitz estimates. In particular, we…

We study functional inequalities for Markov chains on discrete spaces with entropic Ricci curvature bounded from below. Our main results are that when curvature is non-negative, but not necessarily positive, the spectral gap, the Cheeger…

We define the quantum $p$-divergences and introduce Beckner's inequalities for primitive quantum Markov semigroups on a finite-dimensional matrix algebra satisfying the detailed balance condition. Such inequalities quantify the convergence…

We consider multiplicative semigroups of real dxd matrices. A semigroup S is called Perron if each of its matrices has a Perron eigenvalue, i.e., an eigenvalue equal to the spectral radius. If all matrices of S leave a proper convex cone…

Although the Hardy inequality corresponding to one quadratic singularity, with optimal constant, does not admit any extremal function, it is well known that such a potential can be improved, in the sense that a positive term can be added to…

Motivated by recent results on the (possibly conditional) regularity for time-dependent hypoelliptic equations, we prove a parabolic version of the Poincar\'e inequality, and as a consequence, we deduce a version of the classical Moser…

We prove the $L_p$ Poincar\'e inequalities with constant $C\sqrt{p}$ for $1$-cocycles on countable discrete groups under Bakry--Emery's $\Gamma_2$-criterion. These inequalities determine an analogue of subgaussian behavior for 1-cocycles.…

We prove a version of Talagrand's concentration inequality for subordinated sub-Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold using tools from noncommutative geometry. As an application, motivated by quantum information theory, we show that on…

In the setting of a complete, doubling metric measure space $(X,d,\mu)$ supporting a $(1,1)$-Poincar\'e inequality, we show that for all $0<\theta<1$, the following fractional Poincar\'e inequality holds for all balls $B$ and locally…

We prove second and fourth order improved Poincar\'e type inequalities on the hyperbolic space involving Hardy-type remainder terms. Since theirs l.h.s. only involve the radial part of the gradient or of the laplacian, they can be seen as…
