Abstract

This chapter focuses on inequalities comparing measure and capacity uniformly over a given class of sets as equivalent forms of functional inequalities. The chapter concentrates on the so-called 2-capacities which capture the relevant Dirichlet form information on sets and on the 1-capacities which are related to boundary or surface measures and isoperimetric-type inequalities. The first part of the chapter introduces the basic notions on capacities and co-area formulas to transfer (and back) functional inequalities into measure-capacity inequalities. Sobolev-type, Poincaré and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities are analyzed in this respect. The second part is concerned with measure-capacity inequalities. Together with the heat kernel tools under curvature conditions, measure-capacity inequalities of isoperimetric-type are investigated, leading in particular to the Gaussian isoperimetric inequality as well as to comparison results under curvature conditions. Combination of the heat kernel isoperimetric inequality together with its reverse form further yields an isoperimetric-type Harnack inequality. The last section addresses the relationships between Poincaré and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and their associated concentration properties.
