A note on spectral gap and weighted Poincar\'e inequalities for some one-dimensional diffusions

International audienceWe present some classical and weighted Poincar\'e inequalities for some one-dimensional probability measures. This work is the one-dimensional counterpart of a recent study achieved by the authors for a class of spherically symmetric probability measures in dimension larger than 2. Our strategy is based on two main ingredients: on the one hand, the optimal constant in the desired weighted Poincar\'e inequality has to be rewritten as the spectral gap of a convenient Markovian diffusion operator, and on the other hand we use a recent result given by the two first authors, which allows to estimate precisely this spectral gap. In particular we are able to capture its exact value for some examples
