Poincare inequality on complete Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below
Résumé
We prove that complete Riemannian manifolds with polynomial growth and Ricci curvature bounded from below, admit uniform Poincar\'e inequalities. A global, uniform Poincar\'e inequality for horospheres in the universal cover of a closed, $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with pinched negative sectional curvature follows as a corollary.
