Inégalités de Sobolev pour un semi-groupe symétrique. (Sobolev inequalities for a symmetric semi-group). (French) Zbl 0579.60079

Summary: We use the ”iterated gradient” to define the notions of dimension and Ricci curvature associated to a diffusion semi-group. In terms of both these objects, we give a sufficient condition for the generator of a symmetric semi-group to satisfy a Sobolev inequality.
