A fundamental theorem of Wolfe isometrically identifies the space of flat differential forms of dimension $m$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the space of flat $m$-cochains, that is, the dual space of flat chains of dimension $m$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$.…
We represent minimal upper gradients of Newtonian functions, in the range $1\le p<\infty$, by maximal directional derivatives along "generic" curves passing through a given point, using plan-modulus duality and disintegration techniques. As…
We define the chain Sobolev space on a possibly non-complete metric measure space in terms of chain upper gradients. In this context, $\varepsilon$-chains are a finite collection of points with distance at most $\varepsilon$ between…
This paper presents a self-contained new theory of weak fractional differential calculus and fractional Sobolev spaces in one-dimension. The crux of this new theory is the introduction of a weak fractional derivative notion which is a…
In the context of Euclidean spaces equipped with an arbitrary Radon measure, we prove the equivalence among several different notions of Sobolev space present in the literature and we characterise the minimal weak upper gradient of all…
Properties of first-order Sobolev-type spaces on abstract metric measure spaces, so-called Newtonian spaces, based on quasi-Banach function lattices are investigated. The set of all weak upper gradients of a Newtonian function is of…
In this paper we establish weak continuity results for the distribution Jacobian minors in fractional sobolev spaces, which can be seen as a extension of recent work of Brezis and Nguyen on the distributional Jacobian determinant. Then we…
It is known that a Lipschitz continuous map from the Euclidean domain to a metric space is metrically differentiable almost everywhere. When the metric space is a Banach space dual to separable, the metric differential has its linear…
We present developments in the theory of Korevaar-Schoen-Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces. While this theory coincides with those of Cheeger and Shanmugalingam if the space is doubling and satisfies a Poincar\'e inequality, it offers…
The present paper is intended to provide the basis for the study of weakly differentiable functions on rectifiable varifolds with locally bounded first variation. The concept proposed here is defined by means of integration by parts…

The $p$-modulus of curves, test plans, upper gradients, charts, differentials, approximations in energy and density of directions are all concepts associated to the theory of Sobolev functions in metric measure spaces. The purpose of this…
In this paper we study integer multiplicity rectifiable currents carried by the subgradient (subdifferential) graphs of semi-convex functions on a $n$-dimensional convex domain, and show a weak continuity theorem with respect to pointwise…
We extend Korevaar-Schoen's theory of metric valued Sobolev maps to cover the case of the source space being an RCD space. In this situation it appears that no version of the `subpartition lemma' holds: to obtain both existence of the limit…
The primary goal of the paper is to establish characteristic properties of (extended) real-valued functions defined on normed vector spaces that admit the representation as the lower envelope of their minimal (with respect to pointwise…
We consider integrals in the sense of Choquet with respect to the $\delta$-dimensional Hausdorff content for continuously differentiable functions defined on open, connected sets in the Euclidean $n$-space, $n\geq 2$, $0<\delta\le n$. In…
In this paper, first-order Sobolev-type spaces on abstract metric measure spaces are defined using the notion of (weak) upper gradients, where the summability of a function and its upper gradient is measured by the "norm" of a quasi-Banach…
We discuss our work on pointwise inequalities for the gradient which are connected with the isoperimetric profile associated to a given geometry. We show how they can be used to unify certain aspects of the theory of Sobolev inequalities.…
We study fine P\'olya-Szeg\H{o} rearrangement inequalities into weighted intervals for Sobolev functions and functions of bounded variation defined on metric measure spaces supporting an isoperimetric inequality. We then specialize this…
We define the notion of colocally weakly differentiable maps from a manifold $M$ to a manifold $N$. If $p \ge 1$ and $M$ and $N$ are endowed with a Riemannian metric, this allows us to define intrinsically the homogeneous Sobolev space…
