In this paper, we consider the family of harmonic measures μ x n (indexed by x∈ R n with| x|< 1) on the unit sphere S n− 1 in R n, for n⩾ 3. We study the corresponding optimal constants of logarithmic Sobolev and Poincaré inequalities, denoted respectively by C LS (μ x n) and C P (μ x n). We show that the Poincaré constant essentially depends on the dimension only, as 1/(n− 1)⩽ C P (μ x n)⩽ 2/(n− 2). The behavior of C LS (μ x n) is more intricate and depends on the interplay between position and dimension.
