We investigate the application of Weak Poincar\'e Inequalities (WPI) to Markov chains to study their rates of convergence and to derive complexity bounds. At a theoretical level we investigate the necessity of the existence of WPIs to…

We study the convergence rate to equilibrium for a family of Markov semigroups $\{\mathcal{P}_t^{\epsilon}\}_{\epsilon > 0}$ generated by a class of hypoelliptic stochastic differential equations on $\mathbb{R}^d$, including Galerkin…

For a contraction $C_0$-semigroup on a separable Hilbert space, the decay rate is estimated by using the weak Poincar\'e inequalities for the symmetric and anti-symmetric part of the generator. As applications, non-exponential convergence…

In this paper we introduce a notion of Poincar\'e exponent for isometric representations of discrete groups on Hilbert spaces. Similarly as growth exponents control the geometry this exponent is shown to control the size of spectral gaps.…

We employ weak hypocoercivity methods to study the long-term behavior of operator semigroups generated by degenerate Kolmogorov operators with variable second-order coefficients, which solve the associated abstract Cauchy problem. We prove…

In this work we give a sufficient condition under which the global Poincar\'{e} inequality on Carnot groups holds true for a large family of probability measures absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. The density of…

We start by identifying a class of pseudo-differential operators, generated by the set of continuous negative definite functions, that are in the weak similarity (WS) orbit of the self-adjoint log-Bessel operator on the Euclidean space.…

We develop a new approach to formulate and prove the weak uncertainty inequality which was recently introduced by Okoudjou and Strichartz. We assume either an appropriate measure growth condition with respect to the effective resistance…

We investigate the use of a certain class of functional inequalities known as weak Poincar\'e inequalities to bound convergence of Markov chains to equilibrium. We show that this enables the straightforward and transparent derivation of…

We prove that every reversible Markov semigroup which satisfies a Poincar\'e inequality satisfies a matrix-valued Poincar\'e inequality for Hermitian $d\times d$ matrix valued functions, with the same Poincar\'e constant. This generalizes…

We give bounds on the Poincare (inverse spectral gap) constant of a non-negative, integer-valued random variable W, under negative dependence assumptions such as ultra log-concavity and total negative dependence. We show that the bounds…

We consider a frequency localized Bernstein inequality for the fractional Laplacian operator which has wide applications in fluid dynamics such as dissipative surface quasi-geostrophic equations. We use a heat flow reformulation and prove…

Nash and Sobolev inequalities are known to be equivalent to ultracontractive properties of heat-like Markov semigroups, hence to uniform on-diagonal bounds on their kernel densities. In non ultracontractive settings, such bounds can not…

We prove that if a super-Poincar\'e inequality is satisfied by an infinitesimal generator $-A$ of a symmetric contracting semigroup then it implies a corresponding super-Poincar\'e inequality for $-g(A)$ with any Bernstein function $g$. We…

We investigate local variants of Nash inequalities in the context of Dunkl operators. Pseudo-Poincar\'e inequalities are first established using pointwise gradient estimates of the Dunkl heat kernel. These inequalities allow to obtain…

In this paper, we characterize the sharp constant and maximizing functions for weighted Poincar\'e inequalities. These results lead to refinements of Hardy's inequality obtained by adding remainder terms involving \(L^p\) norms. We use…

This paper aims to provide some tools coming from functional inequalities to deal with quasi-stationarity for absorbed Markov processes. First, it is shown how a Poincar\'e inequality related to a suitable Doob transform entails exponential…

We consider a conservative Markov semigroup on a semi-finite $W^*$-algebra. It is known that under some reasonable assumptions it is enough to determine a kind of differential structure on such a 'noncommutative space'. We construct an…

We prove an optimal reverse Poincar\'e inequality for the heat semigroup generated by the sub-Laplacian on a Carnot group of any step. As an application we give new proofs of the isoperimetric inequality and of the boundedness of the Riesz…

A set of functional inequalities - called Nash inequalities - are introduced and analyzed in the context of quantum Markov process mixing. The basic theory of Nash inequalities is extended to the setting of non-commutative Lp spaces, where…
