The goal of this paper is to push forward the study of those properties of log-concave measures that help to estimate their Poincar{\'e} constant. First we revisit E. Milman's result [40] on the link between weak (Poincar{\'e} or…

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 $\exp(-|x|^\al\log^\beta(2+|x|))$…

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…

Brascamp--Lieb-type, weighted Poincar\'{e}-type and related analytic inequalities are studied for multidimensional Cauchy distributions and more general $\kappa$-concave probability measures (in the hierarchy of convex measures). In analogy…
