Poincaré inequalities and dimension free concentration of measure
In this paper, we consider Poincaré inequalities for non-euclidean metrics on ℝd. These inequalities enable us to derive precise dimension free concentration inequalities for product measures. This technique is appropriate for a large scope of concentration rate: between exponential and gaussian and beyond. We give equivalent functional forms of these Poincaré type inequalities in terms of transportation-cost inequalities and inf-convolution inequalities. Workable sufficient conditions are given...
