We introduce a notion of "gradient at a given scale" of functions defined on a metric measure space. We then use it to define Sobolev inequalities at large scale and we prove their invariance under large-scale equivalence (maps that…

A $\lambda$-convex body in a three-dimensional space form $M^3(c)$ of constant curvature $c$ is a compact convex set $K$ whose boundary $\partial K$ has normal curvatures bounded below by a constant $\lambda>0$ (in a weak sense). Within…
