Clark-Ocone formulas and Poincaré inequalities of the discrete cube (Q5929093)

The aim is to estimate the variance of functionals \(F\) of the continuous time random walk on the cube \(\{-1,+1\}^d\). More precisely, the author obtains a whole family of Poincaré inequalities indexed by a real parameter \(\alpha\). One of them (\(\alpha=-1\)) can be proved with cylindrical approximations of \(F\), but in the general case one has to apply a family of Clark-Ocone formulas. In the asymmetric case, the cylindrical inequality (\(\alpha=-1\)) again holds true, but the other ones fail.
