In this paper, we prove (global) $q$-Poincar\'e inequalities for probability measures on nilpotent Lie groups with filiform Lie algebra of any length. The probability measures under consideration have a density with respect to the Haar…
We characterize Poincar\'{e} inequalities in metric spaces using rearrangement inequalities
We consider a model Dirichlet problem with concave-convex and critical nonlinearity settled in Carnot groups. Our aim is to prove the existence of two positve solutions in the spirit of a famous result by Ambrosetti, Brezis and Cerami. To…
We study coercive inequalities in Orlicz spaces associated to the probability measures on finite and infinite dimensional spaces which tails decay slower than the Gaussian ones. We provide necessary and sufficient criteria for such…
We consider Markov random fields of discrete spins on the lattice $\Zd$. We use a technique of coupling of conditional distributions. If under the coupling the disagreement cluster is "sufficiently" subcritical, then we prove the Poincar\'e…
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…
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…
We introduce Poincar\'e type inequalities based on rearrangement invariant spaces in the setting of metric measure spaces and analyze when they imply the doubling condition on the underline measure.
We prove that Sobolev spaces on Cartesian and warped products of metric spaces tensorize, only requiring that one of the factors is a doubling space supporting a Poincar\'e inequality.
We prove local $L^p$-Poincar\'e inequalities, $ p\in[1,\infty]$, on quasiconvex sets in infinite graphs endowed with a family of locally doubling measures, and global $L^p$-Poincar\'e inequalities on connected sets for flow measures on…
We prove a log-Sobolev inequality for a certain class of log-concave measures in high dimension. These are the probability measures supported on the unit cube in R^n whose density takes the form exp(-H) where the function H is assumed to be…
In this paper we provide a proof of the Sobolev-Poincar\'e inequality for variable exponent spaces by means of mass transportation methods. The importance of this approach is that the method is exible enough to deal with different…
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…
We introduce a simple criterion to check coercivity of bilinear forms on subspaces of Hilbert-spaces and Banach-spaces. The presented criterion allows to derive many standard and non-standard variants of Poincar\'e- and Friedrichs-type…
Through the main example of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup, the Bakry-Emery criterion is presented as a main tool to get functional inequalities as Poincar\'e or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. Moreover an alternative method using the…
We develop in this paper an amelioration of the method given by S. Bobkov and M. Ledoux in GAFA (2000). We prove by Prekopa-Leindler Theorem an optimal modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality adapted for all log-concave measure on $\dR^n$.…
We prove an isoperimetric inequality for the uniform measure on a uniformly convex body and for a class of uniformly log-concave measures (that we introduce). These inequalities imply (up to universal constants) the log-Sobolev inequalities…
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…
By introducing an intrinsic perimeter measure for intrinsic countably rectifiable sets, we prove a compactness result and a Poincar\'e inequality for special functions with bounded variation in equiregular Carnot-Carath\'eodory spaces which…
We present a local weighted estimate for the Riesz potential in $\mathbb{R}^n$, which improves the main theorem of Alberico, Cianchi, and Sbordone [C. R. Math. Acad. Sci. Paris \textbf{347} (2009)] in several ways. As a consequence, we…
