Abstract
We prove that for symmetric Markov processes of diffusion type admitting a ``carré du champ'', the Poincaré inequality is equivalent to the exponential convergence of the associated semi-group in one (resp. all) Lp(μ) spaces for 1<p<+∞. We also give the optimal rate of convergence. Part of these results extends to the stationary, not necessarily symmetric situation
