It is known that functions in a Sobolev space with critical exponent embed into the space of functions of bounded mean oscillation, and therefore satisfy the John-Nirenberg inequality and a corresponding exponential integrability estimate. While these inequalities are optimal for general functions of bounded mean oscillation, the main result of this paper is an improvement for functions in a class of critical Sobolev spaces. Precisely, we prove the inequality \[\mathcal{H}^β_{\infty}(\{x\in Ω:|I_αf(x)|>t\})\leq Ce^{-ct^{q'}}\] for all $\|f\|_{L^{N/α,q}(Ω)}\leq 1$ and any $β\in (0,N]$, where $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, $\mathcal{H}^β_{\infty}$ is the Hausdorff content, $L^{N/α,q}(Ω)$ is a Lorentz space with $q \in (1,\infty]$, $q'=q/(q-1)$ is the Hölder conjugate to $q$, and $I_αf$ denotes the Riesz potential of $f$ of order $α\in (0,N)$.
We discuss a parabolic version of the space of functions of bounded mean oscillation related to a doubly nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation. Parabolic John-Nirenberg inequalities, which give exponential decay estimates for the oscillation of a function, are shown in the natural geometry of the partial differential equation. Chaining arguments are applied to change the time lag in the parabolic John-Nirenberg inequality. We also show that the quasihyperbolic boundary condition is a necessary and sufficient condition for a global parabolic John-Nirenberg inequality. Moreover, we c…
Let $p\in (1,\infty)$, $q\in[1,\infty)$, $α\in [0,\infty)$ and $s$ be a non-negative integer. In this article, the authors introduce the John--Nirenberg-Campanato space $JN_{(p,q,s)_α}(\mathcal{X})$, where $\mathcal{X}$ is ${\mathbb R}^n$ or any closed cube $Q_0\subsetneqq{\mathbb R}^n$, which when $α=0$ and $s=0$ coincides with the $JN_p$-space introduced by F. John and L. Nirenberg in the sense of equivalent norms. The authors then give the predual space of $JN_{(p,q,s)_α}(\mathcal{X})$ and a John-Nirenberg type inequality of John--Nirenberg-Campanato spaces. Moreover, the authors prove that…
In this article, the authors give a survey on the recent developments of both the John--Nirenberg space $JN_p$ and the space BMO as well as their vanishing subspaces such as VMO, XMO, CMO, $VJN_p$, and $CJN_p$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ or a given cube $Q_0\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite side length. In addition, some related open questions are also presented.
Let $p,q\in [1,\infty]$, $α\in{\mathbb{R}}$, and $s$ be a non-negative integer. In this article, the authors introduce a new function space $\widetilde{JN}_{(p,q,s)_α}(\mathcal{X})$ of John-Nirenberg-Campanato type, where $\mathcal{X}$ denotes $\mathbb{R}^n$ or any cube $Q_{0}$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite edge length. The authors give an equivalent characterization of $\widetilde{JN}_{(p,q,s)_α}(\mathcal{X})$ via both the John-Nirenberg-Campanato space and the Riesz-Morrey space. Moreover, for the particular case $s=0$, this new space can be equivalently characterized by both maximal functio…
Let $p\in(1,\infty)$, $q\in[1,\infty)$, $s\in{\mathbb Z}_{+}$, $α\in[0,\infty)$ and $\mathcal{X}$ be $\mathbb R^n$ or a cube $Q_0\subsetneqq\mathbb R^n$. In this article, the authors first introduce the localized John--Nirenberg--Campanato space $jn_{(p,q,s)_α}(\mathcal{X})$ and show that the localized Campanato space is the limit case of $jn_{(p,q,s)_α}(\mathcal{X})$ as $p\to\infty$. By means of local atoms and the weak-$*$ topology, the authors then introduce the localized Hardy-kind space $hk_{(p',q',s)_α}(\mathcal{X})$ which proves the predual space of $jn_{(p,q,s)_α}(\mathcal{X})$. Moreov…
We develop some techniques for studying various versions of the function space BMO. Special cases of one of our results give alternative proofs of the celebrated John- Nirenberg inequality and of related inequalities due to John and to Wik. Our approach enables us to pose a simply formulated "geometric" question, for which an affirmative answer would lead to a version of the John-Nirenberg inequality with dimension free constants. A more detailed summary of the main ideas and results of this paper can be found at http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~mcwikel/bmo/CwikSaghShvaSummary.pdf
We discuss the dyadic John-Nirenberg space that is a generalization of functions of bounded mean oscillation. A John-Nirenberg inequality, which gives a weak type estimate for the oscillation of a function, is discussed in the setting of medians instead of integral averages. We show that the dyadic maximal operator is bounded on the dyadic John-Nirenberg space and provide a method to construct nontrivial functions in the dyadic John-Nirenberg space. Moreover, we prove that the John-Nirenberg space is complete. Several open problems are also discussed.
In the cases where there is no Sobolev-type or Gagliardo-Nirenberg-type fractional estimate involving $\lvert u\rvert_{W^{s,p}}$, we establish alternative estimates where the strong $L^p$ norms are replaced by Lorentz norms.
We study the so-called John-Nirenberg space that is a generalization of functions of bounded mean oscillation in the setting of metric measure spaces with a doubling measure. Our main results are local and global John-Nirenberg inequalities, which give weak type estimates for the oscillation of a function. We consider medians instead of integral averages throughout, and thus functions are not a priori assumed to be locally integrable. Our arguments are based on a Calderón-Zygmund decomposition and a good-$λ$ inequality for medians. A John-Nirenberg inequality up to the boundary is proven by us…
In this paper, we develop an abstract framework for John-Nirenberg inequalities associated to BMO-type spaces. This work can be seen as the sequel of [5], where the authors introduced a very general framework for atomic and molecular Hardy spaces. Moreover, we show that our assumptions allow us to recover some already known John-Nirenberg inequalities. We give applications to the atomic Hardy spaces too.
To shed some light on the John--Nirenberg space, the authors in this article introduce the John--Nirenberg-$Q$ space via congruent cubes, $JNQ^α_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, which when $p=\infty$ and $q=2$ coincides with the space $Q_α(\mathbb{R}^n)$ introduced by Essén et al. in [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 49 (2000), 575-615]. Moreover, the authors show that, for some particular indices, $JNQ^α_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ coincides with the congruent John--Nirenberg space, or that the (fractional) Sobolev space is continuously embedded into $JNQ^α_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. Furthermore, the authors characterize $JN…
We study, in the context of doubling metric measure spaces, a class of BMO type functions defined by John and Nirenberg. In particular, we present a new version of the Calderon-Zygmund decomposition in metric spaces and use it to prove the corresponding John-Nirenberg inequality.
A generalization of the theory of Y. Brudnyi \cite{yuri}, and A. and Y. Brudnyi \cite{BB20a}, \cite{BB20b}, is presented. Our construction connects Brudnyi's theory, which relies on local polynomial approximation, with new results on sparse domination. In particular, we find an analogue of the maximal theorem for the fractional maximal function, solving a problem proposed by Kruglyak--Kuznetsov. Our spaces shed light on the structure of the John--Nirenberg spaces. We show that $SJN_{p}$ (sparse John--Nirenberg space) coincides with $L^{p},1<p<\infty.$ This characterization yields the John--Nir…
We find a new sharp trace Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequality on convex cones, aswell as a weighted sharp trace Sobolev inequality on epigraphs of convex functions. This is done by using a generalized Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality, coming from the Brunn-Minkowski theory.
In this paper, we study the John-Nirenberg inequality for BMO and the atomic decomposition for H1 of noncommutative martingales. We first establish a crude version of the column (resp. row) John-Nirenberg inequality for all 0 < p < \infty. By an extreme point property of Lp -space for 0 < p \leq 1, we then obtain a fine version of this in equality. The latter corresponds exactly to the classical John-Nirenberg inequality and enables us to obtain an exponential integrability inequality like in the classical case. These results extend and improve Junge and Musat's John-Nirenberg inequality. By d…
Using a dimension reduction argument and a stability version of the weighted Sobolev inequality on half space recently proved by Seuffert, we establish, in this paper, some stability estimates (or quantitative estimates) for a family of the sharp Gagliardo--Nirenberg--Sobolev inequalities due to Del Pino and Dolbeault \cite{DelPino}.
We prove a noncommutative version of the John-Nirenberg theorem for nontracial filtrations of von Neumann algebras. As an application, we obtain an analogue of the classical large deviation inequality for elements of the associated $BMO$ space.
Using integral formulas based on Green's theorem and in particular a lemma of Uchiyama, we give simple proofs of comparisons of different BMO norms without using the John-Nirenberg inequality while we also give a simple proof of the strong John-Nirenberg inequality. Along the way we prove the inclusions of BMOA in the dual of H^1 and BMO in the dual of real H^1.
Let $p\in[1,\infty]$, $q\in(1,\infty)$, $s\in\mathbb{Z}_+:=\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}$, and $α\in\mathbb{R}$. In this article, the authors introduce a reasonable version $\widetilde T$ of the Calderón--Zygmund operator $T$ on $JN_{(p,q,s)_α}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, the special John--Nirenberg--Campanato space via congruent cubes, which coincides with the Campanato space $\mathcal{C}_{α,q,s}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ when $p=\infty$. Then the authors prove that $\widetilde T$ is bounded on $JN_{(p,q,s)_α}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ if and only if, for any $γ\in\mathbb{Z}_+^n$ with $|γ|\leq s$, $T^*(x^γ…
In this paper we introduce the generalized BMO martingale spaces by stopping time sequences, which enable us to characterize the dual spaces of martingale Hardy-Lorentz spaces $H_{p,q}^s$ for $0<p\leq1, 1<q<\infty$. Moreover, by duality we obtain a John-Nirenberg theorem for the generalized BMO martingale spaces when the stochastic basis is regular. We also extend the boundedness of fractional integrals to martingale Hardy-Lorentz spaces.
We study the space BMO in the general setting of a measure space $\mathbb{X}$ with a fixed collection $\mathscr{G}$ of measurable sets of positive and finite measure, consisting of functions of bounded mean oscillation on sets in $\mathscr{G}$. The aim is to see how much of the familiar BMO machinery holds when metric notions have been replaced by measure-theoretic ones. In particular, three aspects of BMO are considered: its properties as a Banach space, its relation with Muckenhoupt weights, and the John-Nirenberg inequality. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a decomposable meas…
In this paper we show different inequalities for fractional order differential operators. In particular, the Sobolev, Hardy, Gagliardo-Nirenberg and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequalities for the Caputo, Riemann-Liouville and Hadamard derivatives are obtained. In addition, we show some applications of these inequalities.
This work explores new deep connections between John-Nirenberg type inequalities and Muckenhoupt weight invariance for a large class of $BMO$-type spaces. The results are formulated in a very general framework in which $BMO$ spaces are constructed using a base of sets, used also to define weights with respect to a non-negative measure (not necessarily doubling), and an appropriate oscillation functional. This includes as particular cases many different function spaces on geometric settings of interest. As a consequence the weight invariance of several $BMO$ and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces consider…
We extend to n-dimensions a characterization of the Marcinkiewicz $L(p,\infty)$ spaces first obtained by Garsia-Rodemich in the one dimensional case. This leads to a new proof of the John-Nirenberg self-improving inequalities. We also show a related result that provides a still a new characterization of the $L(p,\infty)$ spaces in terms of distribution functions, reflects the self-improving inequalities directly, and also characterizes $L(\infty,\infty),$ the rearrangement invariant hull of $BMO.$ We show an application to the study of tensor products with $L(\infty,\infty)$ spaces, which comp…
We characterize all the real numbers a,b,c and 1<= p,q,r<infty such that the weighted Sobolev space W_{a,b}^(q,p)(R^N\{0}) with power weights |x|^a and |x|^b is continuously embedded into L^{r}(R^N;|x|^cdx). Furthermore, we show that this embedding is (almost) always characterized by a multiplicative norm inequality. When a,b,c>-N and attention is confined to smooth functions with compact support, these inequalities coincide with the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities. Variants for radially symmetric functions, or when r<=min{p,q}, are also obtained along the way.
We present a Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality which bounds Lorentz norms of the function by Sobolev norms and homogeneous Besov quasinorms with negative smoothness. We prove also other versions involving Besov or Triebel-Lizorkin quasinorms. These inequalities can be considered as refinements of Sobolev type embeddings. They can also be applied to obtain Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities in some limiting cases. Our methods are based on estimates of rearrangements in terms of heat kernels. These methods enable us to cover also the case of Sobolev norms with p = 1.
In the setting of a Lie group of polynomial volume growth, we derive inequalities of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type, where the weights involved are powers of the Carnot-Caratheodory distance associated with a fixed system of vector fields which satisfy the Hörmander condition. The use of weak $L^p$ spaces is crucial in our proofs and we formulate these inequalities within the framework of $L^{p,q}$ Lorentz spaces (a scale of (quasi)-Banach spaces which extend the more classical $L^p$ Lebesgue spaces) thereby obtaining a refinement of, for instance, Sobolev and Hardy-Sobolev inequalities.
In this paper we describe the Euler semigroup $\{e^{-t\mathbb{E}^{*}\mathbb{E}}\}_{t>0}$ on homogeneous Lie groups, which allows us to obtain various types of the Hardy-Sobolev and Gagliardo-Nirenberg type inequalities for the Euler operator $\mathbb{E}$. Moreover, the sharp remainder terms of the Sobolev type inequality, maximal Hardy inequality and $|\cdot|$-radial weighted Hardy-Sobolev type inequality are established.
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.
Suppose that the $d$-dimensional unit cube $Q$ is the union of three disjoint "simple" sets $E$, $F$ and $G$ and that the volumes of $E$ and $F$ are both greater than half the volume of $G$. Does this imply that, for some cube $W$ contained in $Q$. the volumes of $E\cap W$ and $F\cap W$ both exceed $s$ times the volume of $W$ for some absolute positive constant $s$? Here, by "simple" we mean a set which is a union of finitely many dyadic cubes. We prove that an affirmative answer to this question would have deep consequences for the important space $BMO$ of functions of bounded mean oscillatio…
Let $p\in[1,\infty]$, $q\in[1,\infty)$, $s\in\mathbb{Z}_+:=\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}$, and $α\in\mathbb{R}$. In this article, the authors first find a reasonable version $\widetilde{I}_β$ of the (generalized) fractional integral $I_β$ on the special John--Nirenberg--Campanato space via congruent cubes, $JN_{(p,q,s)_α}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, which coincides with the Campanato space $\mathcal{C}_{α,q,s}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ when $p=\infty$. To this end, the authors introduce the vanishing moments up to order $s$ of $I_β$. Then the authors prove that $\widetilde{I}_β$ is bounded from $JN_{(p,q,s)_α}^…
We give a comprehensive study of interpolation inequalities for periodic functions with zero mean, including the existence of and the asymptotic expansions for the extremals, best constants, various remainder terms, etc. Most attention is paid to the critical (logarithmic) Sobolev inequality in the two-dimensional case, although a number of results concerning the best constants in the algebraic case and different space dimensions are also obtained.
This note proves sharp affine Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities which are stronger than all known sharp Euclidean Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities and imply the affine $L^{p}-$Sobolev inequalities. The logarithmic version of affine $L^{p}-$Sobolev inequalities is verified. Moreover, An alternative proof of the affine Moser-Trudinger and Morrey-Sobolev inequalities is given. The main tools are the equimeasurability of rearrangements and the strengthened version of the classical Pólys-Szegö principle.
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…
We prove scaling invariant Gagliardo-Nirenberg type inequalities of the form $$\|φ\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)}\le C\|φ\|_{\dot H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^d)}^β \left(\iint_{\mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{R}^d} \frac{|φ(x)|^q\,|φ(y)|^q}{|x - y|^{d-α}} dx dy\right)^γ,$$ involving fractional Sobolev norms with $s>0$ and Coulomb type energies with $0<α<d$ and $q\ge 1$. We establish optimal ranges of parameters for the validity of such inequalities and discuss the existence of the optimisers. In the special case $p=\frac{2d}{d-2s}$ our results include a new refinement of the fractional Sobolev inequality by a Coulomb…
Let $X$ be a ball Banach function space on ${\mathbb R}^n$. In this article, under some mild assumptions about both $X$ and the boundedness of the Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator on the associate space of the convexification of $X$, the authors prove that, for any locally integrable function $f$ with $\|\,|\nabla f|\,\|_{X}<\infty$, $$\sup_{λ\in(0,\infty)}λ\left \|\left|\left\{y\in{\mathbb R}^n:\ |f(\cdot)-f(y)| >λ|\cdot-y|^{\frac{n}{q}+1}\right\}\right|^{\frac{1}{q}} \right\|_X\sim \|\,|\nabla f|\,\|_X$$ with the positive equivalence constants independent of $f$, where the index $q\in(0,\i…
By adapting the mass transportation technique of Cordero-Erausquin, Nazaret and Villani, we obtain a family of sharp Sobolev and Gagliardo-Nirenberg (GN) inequalities on the half space $\mathbf{R}^{n-1}\times\mathbf{R}_+$, $n\geq 1$ equipped with the weight $ω(x) = x_n^a$, $a\geq 0$. It amounts to work with the fractional dimension $n_a = n+a$. The extremal functions in the weighted Sobolev inequalities are fully characterized. Using a dimension reduction argument and the weighted Sobolev inequalities, we can reproduce a subfamily of the sharp GN inequalities on the Euclidean space due to Del …
The paper provides weighted Sobolev inequalities of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type for functions with multi-radial symmetry. Similarly to the previously studied radial case, the range of parameters in CKN inequalities can be extended, sometimes to infinity, providing a pointwise estimate similar to the classical radial estimate. Furthermore, the "multi-radial" weights are a stronger singularity than radial weights of the same homogeneity.
We obtain the sharp constant for the Hardy-Sobolev inequality involving the distance to the origin. This inequality is equivalent to a limiting Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality. In three dimensions, in certain cases the sharp constant coincides with the best Sobolev constant.
We consider the inequalities of Gagliardo-Nirenberg and Sobolev in R^d, formulated in terms of the Laplacian Delta and of the fractional powers D^n := (-Delta)^(n/2) with real n >= 0; we review known facts and present novel results in this area. After illustrating the equivalence between these two inequalities and the relations between the corresponding sharp constants and maximizers, we focus the attention on the L^2 case where, for all sufficiently regular f : R^d -> C, the norm || D^j f||_{L^r} is bounded in terms of || f ||_{L^2} and || D^n f ||_{L^2} for 1/r = 1/2 - (theta n - j)/d, and s…
Let $Ω$ be a John domain, and let $Γ\subset \partial Ω$ be an $h$-set. For some functions $h$ and some weight functions depending on distance from $Γ$, embedding theorems for a weighted Sobolev class is obtained.
With a view towards Riemannian or sub-Riemannian manifolds, RCD metric spaces and specially fractals, this paper makes a step further in the development of a theory of heat semigroup based $(1,p)$ Sobolev spaces in the general framework of Dirichlet spaces. Under suitable assumptions that are verified in a variety of settings, the tools developed by D. Bakry, T. Coulhon, M. Ledoux and L. Saloff-Coste in the paper "Sobolev inequalities in disguise" allow us to obtain the whole family of Gagliardo-Nirenberg and Trudinger-Moser inequalities with optimal exponents. The latter depend not only on th…
We consider BMO spaces of operator-valued functions, among them the space of operator-valued functions $B$ which define a bounded paraproduct on $L^2(H)$. We obtain several equivalent formulations of $\|π_B\|$ in terms of the norm of the "sweep" function of $B$ or of averages of the norms of martingales transforms of $B$ in related spaces. Furthermore, we investigate a connection between John-Nirenberg type inequalities and Carleson-type inequalities via a product formula for paraproducts and deduce sharp dimensional estimates for John-Nirenberg type inequalities.
We prove a Lieb-Thirring type inequality for potentials such that the associated Schrödinger operator has a pure discrete spectrum made of an unbounded sequence of eigenvalues. This inequality is equivalent to a generalized Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality for systems. As a special case, we prove a logarithmic Sobolev inequality for infinite systems of mixed states. Optimal constants are determined and free energy estimates in connection with mixed states representations are also investigated.
We introduce Herz-Sobolev spaces, which unify and generalize the classical Sobolev spaces. We will give a proof of the Sobolev-type embedding for these function spaces. All these results generalize the classical results on Sobolev spaces. Some remarks on Caffarelli--Kohn--Nirenberg inequality are given.
The best constant of the Sobolev inequality in the whole space is attained by the Aubin-Talenti function; however, this does not happen in bounded domains because the break in dilation invariance. In this paper, we investigate a new scale invariant form of the Sobolev inequality in a ball and show that its best constant is attained by functions of the Aubin-Talenti type. Generalization to the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality in a ball is also discussed.
We present some Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg-type inequalities on Herz-type Besov-Triebel-Lizorkin spaces, Besov-Morrey spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin-Morrey spaces. More Precisely, we investigate the inequalities \begin{equation*} \big\|f\big\|_{\dot{k}_{v,σ}^{α_{1},r}}\leq c\big\|f\big\|_{\dot{K}_{u}^{α_{2},δ}}^{1-θ}\big\|f\big\|_{\dot{K}_{p}^{α_{3},δ_{1}}A_{β}^{s}}^{θ}, \end{equation*} and \begin{equation*} \big\|f\big\|_{\mathcal{E}_{p,2,u}^{σ}}\leq c\big\|f\big\|_{\mathcal{M}_{μ}^{δ}}^{1-θ}\big\|f\big\|_{\mathcal{N}_{q,β,v}^{s}}^{θ}, \end{equation*} with some appropriate assumptions on the para…
