Abstract

Let \((E,{\mathscr{E}} F,\mu )\) be a σ-finite measure space. For a non-negative symmetric measurable function J(x,y) on E × E, consider the quadratic form

$$ \mathscr{E}(f,f):= \frac{1}{2}{\int}_{E\times E} (f(x)-f(y))^{2} J(x,y) \mu(\text{\text{d}} x) \mu(\text{\text{d}} y) $$

in L2(μ). We characterize the relationship between the isoperimetric inequality and the super Poincaré inequality associated with \({\mathscr{E}}\). In particular, sharp Orlicz-Sobolev type and Poincaré type isoperimetric inequalities are derived for stable-like Dirichlet forms on \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\), which include the existing fractional isoperimetric inequality as a special example.
