Henri Poincare 33, 4, 437 -- 465], we prove that the Poincare inequality for a (possibly non-symmetric) Markov process yields the exponential integrability of the hitting times of this process. For symmetric elliptic diffusions, this provides a criterion for the Poincare inequality in the terms of hitting times.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-03-06T06:41:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hitting times", "poincare inequality", "exponential integrability", "spectral gap inequalities", "markov process yields" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1303.1257K" } } }
