We provide a pointwise bipolar theorem for liminf-closed convex sets of positive Borel measurable functions on a sigma-compact metric space without the assumption that the polar is a tight set of measures. As applications we derive a…

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…

We develop a framework for Poisson geometry on loop spaces of low regularity, extending Mokhov's classical constructions from smooth loops to weak Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p}(\mathbb{S^1},\mathbb{R}^m)$ with $o < s \frac{1}{2}$ and $1 < p <…

We construct an a.e. approximately differentiable homeomorphism of a unit $n$-dimensional cube onto itself which is orientation preserving, has the Lusin property (N) and has the Jacobian determinant negative a.e. Moreover, the…

We introduce a weak notion of $2\times 2$-minors of gradients of a suitable subclass of $BV$ functions. In the case of maps in $BV(\mathbb{R}^2;\mathbb{R}^2)$ such a notion extends the standard definition of Jacobian determinant to…

We characterize the (sequentially) weak and strong closure of planar diffeomorphisms in the Sobolev topology and we show that they always coincide. We also provide some sufficient condition for a planar map to be approximable by…

In this note we show that if a continuous-time, nonlinear, time-invariant, finite-dimensional system evolves on a compact subset of Rn and if the Jacobian of the vector field is Hurwitz at each point of the compact set, then there is a…

Ergodic properties of rational maps are studied, generalising the work of F.\ Ledrappier. A new construction allows for simpler proofs of stronger results. Very general conformal measures are considered. Equivalent conditions are given for…

We establish an improved form of the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the Gaussian measure restricted to probability densities which satisfy a Poincar\'e inequality. The result implies a lower bound on the deficit in terms of…

Let $C$ be a closed cone with nonempty interior $C^\circ$ in a Banach space. Let $f:C^\circ \rightarrow C^\circ$ be an order-preserving subhomogeneous function with a fixed point in $C^\circ$. We introduce a condition which guarantees that…

Motivated by positivity-, monotonicity-, and convexity preserving differential equations, we introduce a definition of shape preserving operator semigroups and analyze their fundamental properties. In particular, we prove that the class of…

We study mappings that satisfy the inverse modulus inequality of Poletsky type with respect to $p$-modulus. Given $n-1<p\leqslant n,$ we show that, the image of some ball contains a fixed ball under mappings mentioned above. This statement…

On a convex set, we prove that the Poincar\'e-Sobolev constant for functions vanishing at the boundary can be bounded from above by the ratio between the perimeter and a suitable power of the $N-$dimensional measure. This generalizes an old…

We define and study homogeneous kinetic Sobolev spaces adapted to the Kolmogorov equation. We consider both local and non-local diffusion. The spaces are built from the Lebesgue spaces L p for all integrability exponents p $\in$ (1,…

This paper is concerned with locally damped semilinear wave equations defined on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We present a construction of measure-controlled damping regions which are sharp in the sense that their summed…

We introduce a large class of concentrated $p$-L\'{e}vy integrable functions approximating the unity, which serves as the core tool from which we provide a nonlocal characterization of Sobolev spaces and the space of functions of bounded…

This article develops a unified and intrinsic framework for the theory of Sobolev spaces on vector bundles over Riemannian manifolds. The analytical core of our approach is an explicit higher-order geometric integration by parts formula,…

Let $M$ be a pseudoconvex, oriented, bounded and closed CR submanifold of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ of hypersurface type. We show that Sobolev estimates for the complex Green operator hold simultaneously for forms of symmetric bidegrees, that is,…

A theorem of Siebert asserts that if a sequence of semigroups of probability measures on a Lie group G is weakly convergent to a semigroup of the same type, then the corresponding generating functionals are convergent in the weak operator…

We show that there exists a quantum compact metric space which underlies the setting of each Sobolev algebra associated to a subelliptic Laplacian $\Delta=-(X_1^2+\cdots+X_m^2)$ on a compact connected Lie group $G$ if $p$ is large enough,…
