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 present a simple proof of the continuity, in the sense distributions, of the minors of the differential matrices of mappings belonging to grand Sobolev spaces. Such function spaces were introduced in connection with a problem on minimal…

We extend the well-known result that any $f \in W^{1,n}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n)$, $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with strictly positive Jacobian is actually continuous: it is also true for fractional Sobolev spaces $W^{s,\frac{n}{s}}(\Omega)$…
We introduce a class of flat currents with fractal properties, called fractional currents, which satisfy a compactness theorem and remain stable under pushforwards by H\"older continuous maps. In top dimension, fractional currents are the…
The aim of the present paper is to define a notion of weakly differentiable cochain in the generality of metric measure spaces and to study basic properties of such cochains. Our cochains are (sub-)linear functionals on a subspace of…
We continue the study of the space $BV^\alpha(\mathbb R^n)$ of functions with bounded fractional variation in $\mathbb R^n$ and of the distributional fractional Sobolev space $S^{\alpha,p}(\mathbb R^n)$, with $p\in [1,+\infty]$ and…
We construct fractional Sobolev spaces on arbitrary time scales, both in one dimension and on product time scales. In 1D, we define $W^{\alpha(\cdot),p}_{\mathrm{rd}}(\mathcal I)$ through a variable-order Gagliardo-type seminorm and prove…
This paper deals with new continuous and compact embedding theorems for the fractional Musielak-Sobolev spaces in $\mathbb{R}^d$. As an application, using the variational methods, we obtain the existence of nontrivial weak solution for the…

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 characterize one-sided weighted Sobolev spaces $W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R},\omega)$, where $\omega$ is a one-sided Sawyer weight, in terms of a.e.~and weighted $L^p$ limits as $\alpha\to1^-$ of Marchaud fractional derivatives of order $\alpha$.…
This paper is devoted to the study of fractional (q,p)-Sobolev-Poincare inequalities in irregular domains. In particular, we establish (essentially) sharp fractional (q,p)-Sobolev-Poincare inequality in s-John domains and in domains…
