This paper is devoted to the study of probability measures with heavy tails. Using the Lyapunov function approach we prove that such measures satisfy different kind of functional inequalities such as weak Poincare and weak Cheeger, weighted Poincare and weighted Cheeger inequalities and their dual forms. Proofs are short and we cover very large situations. For product measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$ we obtain the optimal dimension dependence using the mass transportation method. Then we derive…

In this paper, weak Poincaré inequalities are obtained for convolution probabilities with explicit rate functions by constructing suitable Lyapunov functions. Here, one of these Lyapunov functions is

For generators of Markov semigroups which lack a spectral gap, it is shown how bounds on the density of states near zero lead to a so-called weak Poincaré inequality (WPI), originally introduced by
