In this paper, some new forms of Cheeger’s inequalities are established for general (maybe unbounded) symmetric forms (Theorems 1.1 and 1.2): the resulting estimates improve and extend the ones obtained by Lawler and Sokal for bounded jump processes. Furthermore, some existence criteria for spectral gap of general symmetric forms or general reversible Markov processes are presented (Theorems 1.4 and 3.1), based on Cheeger’s inequalities and a relationship between the spectral gap and the first Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues on local region.
