Abstract

The Riemann Mapping Theorem states existence of a conformal homeomorphism φ\varphi of a simply connected plane domain ΩC\Omega\subset\mathbb C with non-empty boundary onto the unit disc DC\mathbb D\subset \mathbb C. In the first part of the paper we study embeddings of Sobolev spaces Wp1(Ω)\overset{\circ}{W_{p}^{1}}(\Omega) into weighted Lebesgue spaces Lq(Ω,h)L_{q}(\Omega,h) with an {}"universal" weight that is Jacobian of φ\varphi i.e. h(z):=J(z,φ)=φ(z)2h(z):=J(z,\varphi)=| \varphi'(z)|^2. Weighted Lebesgue spaces with such weights depend only on a conformal structure of Ω\Omega. By this reason we call the weights h(z)h(z) conformal weights. In the second part of the paper we prove compactness of embeddings of Sobolev spaces W21(Ω)\overset{\circ}{W_{2}^{1}}(\Omega) into Lq(Ω,h)L_{q}(\Omega,h) for any 1q<1\leq q<\infty. With the help of Brennan's conjecture we extend these results to Sobolev spaces Wp1(Ω)\overset{\circ}{W_{p}^{1}}(\Omega). In this case qq is not arbitrary and depends on pp and the summability exponent for Brennan's conjecture. Applications to elliptic boundary value problems are demonstrated in the last part of the paper.
