This work revolves around properties and applications of functions whose nonlocal gradient, or more precisely, finite-horizon fractional gradient, vanishes. Surprisingly, in contrast to the classical local theory, we show that this class…
Given $p,N>1,$ we prove the sharp $L^p$-log-Sobolev inequality on noncompact metric measure spaces satisfying the ${\sf CD}(0,N)$ condition, where the optimal constant involves the asymptotic volume ratio of the space. This proof is based…
Let X and Y be bounded multiply connected Lipschitz domains in \R^2. We consider the class H_p (X, Y) of homeomorphisms h : X -> Y in the Sobolev space W^{1,p} (X, \R^2). We prove that the weak and strong closures of H_p (X, Y), 2 \le p<…
We prove a sharp quantitative version for the stability of the Sobolev inequality with explicit constants. Moreover, the constants have the correct behavior in the limit of large dimensions, which allows us to deduce an optimal quantitative…
We introduce a relaxed version of the metric definition of quasiconformality that is natural also for mappings of low regularity, including $W_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1,1}(\mathbb{R}^n;\mathbb{R}^n)$-mappings. Then we show on the plane that this…
Let $ m, n $ be integers such that $ \frac{n}{2} > m \geq 1 $ and let $ (M, g) $ be a closed $ n-$dimensional Riemannian manifold. We prove there exists some $ B \in \mathbb{R} $ depending only on $ (M, g) $, $ m $, and $ n $ such that for…
We prove that the Sierpi\'nski gasket is non-removable for quasiconformal maps, thus answering a question of Bishop. The proof involves a new technique of constructing an exceptional homeomorphism from $\mathbb R^2$ into some non-planar…
We have recently introduced the trimming property for a complete Riemannian manifold $N^{n}$ as a necessary and sufficient condition for bounded maps to be strongly dense in $W^{1, p}(B^m; N^{n})$ when $p \in \{1, \dotsc, m\}$. We prove in…
We prove that, for $1\leq p< 2$, if a $W^{1,p}$-quasiconvex integrand $\,f\colon\mathbb{R}^{N\times n}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ has linear growth from above on the rank-one cone, then it must satisfy this growth for all matrices in…
We establish fine bounds for best constants of the fractional subcritical Sobolev embeddings \begin{align*} W_{0}^{s,p}\left(\Omega\right)\hookrightarrow L^{q}\left(\Omega\right), \end{align*} where $N\geq1$, $0<s<1$, $p=1,2$, $1\leq…
In this paper we study localization properties of the Riesz $s$-fractional gradient $D^s u$ of a vectorial function $u$ as $s \nearrow 1$. The natural space to work with $s$-fractional gradients is the Bessel space $H^{s,p}$ for $0 < s < 1$…
For a general open set, we characterize the compactness of the embedding $W^{1,p}_0\hookrightarrow L^q$ in terms of the summability of its torsion function. In particular, for $1\le q<p$ we obtain that the embedding is continuous if and…
In this paper we connect Calder\'on and Zygmund's notion of $L^p$\- -differentiability with some recent characterizations of Sobolev spaces via the asymptotics of non-local functionals due to Bourgain, Brezis, and Mironescu. We show how the…
We study the sharp constant for the embedding of $W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$ into $L^q(\Omega)$, in the case $2<p<q$. We prove that for smooth connected sets, when $q>p$ and $q$ is sufficiently close to $p$, extremal functions attaining the sharp…
Let $Z$ be an Ahlfors $Q$-regular compact metric measure space, where $Q>0$. For $p>1$ we introduce a new (fractional) Sobolev space $A^p(Z)$ consisting of functions whose extensions to the hyperbolic filling of $Z$ satisfies a weak-type…
We prove that if $M$ is a closed $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold, $n \ge 3$, with ${\rm Ric}\ge n-1$ and for which the optimal constant in the critical Sobolev inequality equals the one of the $n$-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$, then…
In the setting of metric measure spaces satisfying the doubling condition and the $(1,p)$-Poincar\'e inequality, we prove a metric analogue of the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu formula for functions in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(X,d,\nu)$,…
In this work, we aim to prove algebra properties for generalized Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p} \cap L^\infty$ on a Riemannian manifold, where $W^{s,p}$ is of Bessel-type $W^{s,p}:=(1+L)^{-s/m}(L^p)$ with an operator $L$ generating a heat…
