Using martingale techniques we will prove several deviation inequalities for diffusion processes in a compact Riemannian manifold and Le vy processes in euclidean space. We also deduce deviation inequalities from Poincare type inequalities in the abstract setting of Dirichlet forms. We thus obtain,

Many converses of Jensen's inequality for convex functions can be found in the literature. Here we give matrix versions, with matrix weights, of these inequalities. Some applications to the Hadamard product of matrices are also given. ᮊ 1997
