Abstract
The chapter introduces the concept of Poincaré inequality to study the spectral gap of a self-adjoint operator and the exponential convergence of the associated Markov semigroup. It discusses a general result on abstract Hilbert spaces and specific models including the jump processes, the diffusion processes on Rd and on Riemannian manifolds.
