contents This paper is concerned with a modified entropy method to establish the large-time convergence towards the (unique) steady state, for kinetic Fokker-Planck equations with non-quadratic confinement potentials in whole space. We extend previous approaches by analyzing Lyapunov functionals with non-constant weight matrices in the dissipation functional (a generalized Fisher information). We establish exponential convergence in a weighted $H^1$-norm with rates that become sharp in the case of quadratic potentials. In the defective case for quadratic potentials, i.e. when the drift matrix has non-trivial Jordan blocks, the weighted $L^2$-distance between a Fokker-Planck-solution and the steady state has always a sharp decay estimate of the order $\mathcal O\big( (1+t)e^{-tν/2}\big)$, with $ν$ the friction parameter. The presented method also gives new hypoelliptic regularization results for kinetic Fokker-Planck equations (from a weighted $L^2$-space to a weighted $H^1$-space).
