We study in this article the Improved Sobolev inequalities with Muckenhoupt weights within the framework of stratified Lie groups. This family of inequalities estimate the Lq norm of a function by the geometric mean of two norms corresponding to Sobolev spaces W(s;p) and Besov spaces B(-b, infty, infty). When the value p which characterizes Sobolev space is strictly larger than 1, the required result is well known in R^n and is classically obtained by a Littlewood-Paley dyadic blocks manipulation. For these inequalities we will develop here another totally different technique. When p = 1, these two techniques are not available anymore and following M. Ledoux in R^n, we will treat here the critical case p = 1 for general stratified Lie groups in a weighted functional space setting. Finally, we will go a step further with a new generalization of Improved Sobolev inequalities using weak-type Sobolev spaces.
We generalize the classical Muckenhoupt inequality with two measures to three under appropriate conditions. As a consequence, we prove a simple characterization of the undedness of the multiplication operator and thus of the boundedness of the zeros and the asymptotic behavior of the Sobolev orthogonal polynomials, for a large class of measures which includes the most usual examples in the literature.
A complete description of traces on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ of functions from the weighted Sobolev space $W^{l}_{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n+1},γ)$, $l \in \mathbb{N}$, with weight $γ\in A^{\rm loc}_{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n+1})$ is obtained. In the case $l=1$ the proof of the trace theorems is based on a~special nonlinear algorithm for constructing a~system of tilings of the space~$\mathbb R^n$. As the trace of the space $W^1_1(\mathbb R^{n+1},γ)$ we have the new function space $Z(\{γ_{k,m}\})$.
In this short paper, we establish a range of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg and weighted $L^{p}$-Sobolev type inequalities on stratified Lie groups. All inequalities are obtained with sharp constants. Moreover, the equivalence of the Sobolev type inequality and Hardy inequality is shown in the $L^{2}$-case.
For function spaces equipped with Muckenhoupt weights, the validity of continuous Sobolev embeddings in case $p_0\leq p_1$ is characterized. Extensions to Jawerth-Franke embeddings, vector-valued spaces and examples involving some prominent weights are also provided.
The study of Sobolev inequalities can be divided in two cases: p = 1 and 1 < p < +$\infty$. In the case p = 1 we study here a relaxed version of refined Sobolev inequalities. When p > 1, using as base space classical Lorentz spaces associated to a weight from the Arino-Muckenhoupt class Bp, we will study Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities. As a by-product we will also consider Morrey-Sobolev inequalities. These arguments can be generalized to many different frameworks, in particular the proofs are given in the setting of stratified Lie groups.
In this paper we present a new characterization of the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}$, $1<p<\infty$ which is a higher dimensional version of a result of Waterman. We also provide a new and simplified proof of a recent result of Alabern, Mateu and Verdera. Finally, we generalize the results to the case of weighted Sobolev spaces with respect to a Muckenhoupt weight.
On a stratified Lie group $G$ equipped with hypoelliptic heat kernel measure, we study the behavior of the dilation semigroup on $L^p$ spaces of log-subharmonic functions. We consider a notion of strong hypercontractivity and a strong logarithmic Sobolev inequality, and show that these properties are equivalent for any group $G$. Moreover, if $G$ satisfies a classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality, then both properties hold. This extends similar results obtained by Graczyk, Kemp and Loeb in the Euclidean setting.
We give a sufficient condition for limiting Sobolev and Hardy inequalities to hold on stratified homogeneous groups. In the Euclidean case, this condition reduces to the known cancelling necessary and sufficient condition. We obtain in particular endpoint Korn--Sobolev and Korn--Hardy inequalities on stratified homogeneous groups.
We show that for a hypoelliptic Dirichlet form operator A on a stratified complex Lie group, if the logarithmic Sobolev inequality holds, then a holomorphic projection of A is strongly hypercontractive in the sense of Janson. This extends previous results of Gross to a setting in which the operator A is not holomorphic.
In this article, motivated by a work of Caffarelli and Cordoba in phase transitions analysis, we prove new weighted anisotropic Sobolev type inequalities, that is Sobolev type inequalities where different derivatives have different weight functions. The inequalities we are dealing with, are also intimately connected to weighted Sobolev inequalities for Grushin type operators, the weights being not necessarily Muckenhoupt. For example we consider here Sobolev inequalities on finite cylinders, the weights being different powers of the distance function from the top and the bottom of the cylinder…
In the present paper we study embedding operators for weighted Sobolev spaces whose weights satisfy the well-known Muckenhoupt A_p-condition. Sufficient conditions for boundedness and compactness of the embedding operators are obtained for smooth domains and domains with boundary singularities. The proposed method is based on the concept of 'generalized' quasiconformal homeomorphisms (homeomorphisms with bounded mean distortion.) The choice of the homeomorphism type depends on the choice of the corresponding weighted Sobolev space. Such classes of homeomorphisms induce bounded composition oper…
We consider a generalized Dirac operator on a compact stratified space with an iterated cone-edge metric. Assuming a spectral Witt condition, we prove its essential self-adjointness and identify its domain and the domain of its square with weighted edge Sobolev spaces. This sharpens previous results where the minimal domain is shown only to be a subset of an intersection of weighted edge Sobolev spaces. Our argument does not rely on microlocal techniques and is very explicit. The novelty of our approach is the use of an abstract functional analytic notion of interpolation scales. Our results h…
We characterize one-sided weighted Sobolev spaces $W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R},ω)$, where $ω$ is a one-sided Sawyer weight, in terms of a.e.~and weighted $L^p$ limits as $α\to1^-$ of Marchaud fractional derivatives of order $α$. Similar results for weighted Sobolev spaces $W^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^n,ν)$, where $ν$ is an $A_p$-Muckenhoupt weight, are proved in terms of limits as $s\to1^-$ of fractional Laplacians $(-Δ)^s$. These are Bourgain--Brezis--Mironescu-type characterizations for weighted Sobolev spaces. We also complement their work by studying a.e.~and weighted $L^p$ limits as $α,s\to0^+$.
We study necessary and sufficient conditions for a Muckenhoupt weight $w \in L^1_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb R^d)$ that yield almost sure existence of radial, and vertical, limits at infinity for Sobolev functions $u \in W^{1,p}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb R^d,w)$ with a $p$-integrable gradient $|\nabla u|\in L^p(\mathbb R^d,w)$. The question is shown to subtly depend on the sense in which the limit is taken. First, we fully characterize the existence of radial limits. Second, we give essentially sharp sufficient conditions for the existence of vertical limits. In the specific setting of product and rad…
Let $\mathbb B_n$ be the open unit ball in $\mathbb C^n$. We characterize the spectra of pointwise multipliers $M_u$ acting on Banach spaces of analytic functions on $\mathbb B_n$ satisfying some general conditions. These spaces include Bergman-Sobolev spaces $A^p_{α,β}$, Bloch-type spaces $\mathcal B_α$, weighted Hardy spaces $H^p_w$ with Muckenhoupt weights and Hardy-Sobolev Hilbert spaces $H^2_β$. Moreover, we describe the essential spectra of multipliers in most of the aforementioned spaces, in particular, in those spaces for which the set of multipliers is a subset of the ball algebra.
We prove weighted mixed-norm $L^q_t(W^{2,p}_x)$ and $L^q_t(C^{2,α}_x)$ estimates for $1<p,q<\infty$ and $0<α<1$, weighted mixed weak-type estimates for $q=1$, $L^\infty_{t}(L^p_x)-BMO_t(W^{2,p}_x)$, and $L^\infty_{t}(C^α_x)-BMO_t(C^{2,α}_x)$, and a.e.~pointwise formulas for derivatives, for solutions $u=u(t,x)$ to parabolic equations of the form $$\partial_tu-a^{ij}(t)\partial_{ij}u+u=f\quad t\in\mathbb{R},~x\in\mathbb{R}^n$$ and for the Cauchy problem $$\begin{cases} \partial_tv-a^{ij}(t)\partial_{ij}v+v=f&\hbox{for}~t >0,~x\in\mathbb{R}^n \\ v(0,x)=g&\hbox{for}~x\in\mathbb{R}^n. \end{cases}$…
Let $T_{Ω,α}$ be the homogeneous fractional integral operator defined as \begin{equation*} T_{Ω,α}f(x):=\int_{\mathbb R^n}\frac{Ω(x-y)}{|x-y|^{n-α}}f(y)\,dy, \end{equation*} and the related fractional maximal operator $M_{Ω,α}$ is given by \begin{equation*} M_{Ω,α}f(x):=\sup_{r>0}\frac{1}{|B(x,r)|^{1-α/n}}\int_{|x-y|<r}|Ω(x-y)f(y)|\,dy. \end{equation*} In this article, we will use the idea of Hedberg to reprove that the operators $T_{Ω,α}$ and $M_{Ω,α}$ are bounded from $L^p(\mathbb R^n)$ to $L^q(\mathbb R^n)$ provided that $Ω\in L^s(\mathbf{S}^{n-1})$, $s'<p<n/α$ and $1/q=1/p-α/n$, which was …
In this paper the dependence of the best constants in Sobolev and Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities on the precise form of the Sobolev space norm is investigated. The analysis is carried out on general graded Lie groups, thus including the cases of $\mathbb R^n$, Heisenberg, and more general stratified Lie groups. The Sobolev norms may be defined in terms of Rockland operators, i.e. the hypoelliptic homogeneous left-invariant differential operators on the group. The best constants are expressed in the variational form as well as in terms of the ground state solutions of the corresponding nonlin…
By using commutator methods, we show uniform resolvent estimates and obtain globally smooth operators for self-adjoint injective homogeneous operators $H$ on graded groups, including Rockland operators, sublaplacians and many others. Left or right invariance is not required. Typically the globally smooth operator has the form $T=V|H|^{1/2}$, where $V$ only depends on the homogeneous structure of the group through Sobolev spaces, the homogeneous dimension and the minimal and maximal dilation weights. For stratified groups improvements are obtained, by using a Hardy-type inequality. Some of the …
