Weak Functional Inequalities for Perturbed Measures

Abstract

This paper is a follow up to an article by two of the authors dedicated to the study of Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for measures of the form dμ=eUdνd\mu = e^{-U} d\nu where eUe^{-U} is seen as a perturbation of dνd\nu. Application to the same functional inequalities for convolution products are then discussed. In the present paper we investigate similar problems for weaker functional inequalities, namely weak Poincar\'e, weighted Poincar\'e, weak log-Sobolev and weighted log-Sobolev inequalities.
