With direct and simple proofs, we establish Poincaré type inequalities (includingPoincaré inequalities, weak Poincaré inequalities and super Poincaré inequalities),entropy inequalities and Beckner-type inequalities for non-local Dirichlet forms. Theproofs are efficient for non-local Dirichlet forms with general jump kernel, and also workfor Lp(p>1) settings. Our results yield a new sufficient condition forfractional Poincaré inequalities, which were recently studied in [P.T. Gressman,J. Funct. Anal. 265 (2013) 867–889. C. Mouhot, E. Russ andY. Sire, J. Math. Pures Appl. 95 (2011) 72–84.] To ourknowledge this is the first result providing entropy inequalities and Beckner-typeinequalities for measures more general than Lévy measures.
