For some class of geometric flows, we obtain the (logarithmic) Sobolev inequalities and their equivalence up to different factors directly and also obtain the long time non-collapsing and non-inflated properties, which generalize the results in the case of Ricci flow or List-Ricci flow or harmonic-Ricci flow. As applications, for mean curvature flow in Lorentzian space with nonnegative sectional curvature and twisted Kähler-Ricci flow on Fano manifolds, we get the results above.
We carry out calculations of Orlicz cohomology for some basic Riemannian manifolds (the real line, the hyperbolic plane, the ball). Relationship between Orlicz cohomology and Poincaré--Sobolev--Orlicz-type inequalities is discussed.
We prove a sharp Sobolev inequality on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Moreover, we prove a Michael-Simon inequality for submanifolds in manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature. Both inequalities depend on the asymptotic volume ratio of the ambient manifold.
We improve higher-order CR Sobolev inequalities on $S^{2n+1}$ under the vanishing of higher order moments of the volume element. As an application, we give a new and direct proof of the classification of minimizers of the CR invariant higher-order Sobolev inequalities. In the same spirit, we prove almost sharp Sobolev inequalities for GJMS operators to general CR manifolds, and obtain the existence of minimizers in $C^{2k}(N)$ of higher-order CR Yamabe-type problems when $Y_k(N)<Y_k(\mathbb{H}^n)$.
We establish improved CR Sobolev inequalities on CR sphere under the vanishing of higher order moments of the volume element. As a direct application, we give a simpler proof of the existence and the classification of minimizers of the CR invariant Sobolev inequalities which avoids complicated computation in Frank and Lieb's proof. Our argument relies on nice commutator identities involving the CR intertwining operators on CR sphere and handles both the fractional and integral cases. In the same spirit, we derive the classical sharp Sobolev inequalities using commutator identities on the spher…
Using the ABP-method as in a recent work by Brendle, we establish some sharp Sobolev and isoperimetric inequalities for compact domains and submanifolds in a complete Riemannian manifold with asymptotically nonnegative curvature. These inequalities generalize those given by Brendle in the case of complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative curvature.
In this paper, we prove Poincaré and Sobolev inequalities for differential forms in $L^1(\mathbb R^n)$. The singular integral estimates that it is possible to use for $L^p$, $p>1$, are replaced here with inequalities which go back to Bourgain-Brezis.
We prove new Beckner-Sobolev type inequalities on compact Kähler manifolds with positive Ricci curvature. As an application, we obtain a diameter upper bound that improves the Bonnet-Myers bound.
Poincar{é} and Sobolev inequalities for differential forms on Heisenberg balls, involving Rumin's differentials, are given. Furthermore, a global homotopy of Rumin's complex which improves differentiability of Rumin forms is provided on any bounded geometry contact manifold.
We establish three families of Sobolev trace inequalities of orders two and four in the unit ball under higher order moments constraint, and are able to construct \emph{smooth} test functions to show all such inequalities are \emph{almost optimal}. Some distinct feature in \emph{almost sharpness} examples between the fourth order and second order Sobolev trace inequalities is discovered. This has been neglected in higher order Sobolev inequality case in \cite{Hang}. As a byproduct, the method of our construction can be used to show the sharpness of the generalized Lebedev-Milin inequality unde…
We prove a sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequality which holds for submanifolds in Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension and codimension. Like the Michael-Simon Sobolev inequality, this inequality includes a term involving the mean curvature.
Frank and Lieb gave a new, rearrangement-free, proof of the sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities by exploiting their conformal covariance. Using this they gave new proofs of sharp Sobolev inequalities for the embeddings $W^{k,2}(\mathbb{R}^n)\hookrightarrow L^{\frac{2n}{n-2k}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. We show that their argument gives a direct proof of the latter inequalities without passing through Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities, and, moreover, a new proof of a sharp fully nonlinear Sobolev inequality involving the $σ_2$-curvature. Our argument relies on nice commutator identities deduce…
We derive the sharp Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequalities on the standard $n$-sphere and CR $(2n+1)$- sphere as the limit of the sharp fractional Sobolev inequalities for all $n\ge 1$. On the $2$-sphere and $4$-sphere, this was established recently by S.-Y. Chang and F. Wang. Our proof uses an alternative and elementary argument.
We establish Sobolev type inequalities in the noncommutative settings by generalizing monotone metrics in the space of quantum states, such as matrix-valued Beckner inequalities. We also discuss examples such as random transpositions and Bernoulli-Laplace models.
We refine and generalize several interpolation inequalities bounding the $L^p$ norm of a probability density with respect to the reference measure $μ$ by its Sobolev norm and the Kantorovich distance to $μ$ on a smooth weighted Riemannian manifold satisfying $CD(0, \infty)$ condition.
