We study linear systems of ordinary differential equations of an arbitrary order on a finite interval with the most general (generic) inhomogeneous boundary conditions in Sobolev spaces. We investigate the character of solvability of…

We develop a theory of BV and Sobolev Spaces via integration by parts formula in abstract metric spaces; the role of vector fields is played by Weaver's metric derivations. The definition hereby given is shown to be equivalent to many…

This is a pedagogical introduction covering maps of metric spaces, Gromov-Hausdorff distance and its "physical" meaning, and dilation structures as a convenient simplification of an exhaustive database of maps of a metric space into…

This paper is the first of three in which I study the moduli space of isometry classes of (compact) globally hyperbolic spacetimes (with boundary). I introduce a notion of Gromov-Hausdorff distance which makes this moduli space into a…

The traces of gauge-covariant Sobolev spaces on a Riemannian vector bundle for some connection are characterised as some gauge-covariant fractional Sobolev spaces when the curvature of the connection is bounded. The constants in the trace…

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 obtain a description of the homeomorphisms which induce bounded composition operators on Sobolev spaces of functions on metric measure spaces.

Let $(\operatorname{X},\operatorname{d},\mu)$ be a metric measure space with uniformly locally doubling measure $\mu$. Given $p \in (1,\infty)$, assume that $(\operatorname{X},\operatorname{d},\mu)$ supports a weak local $(1,p)$-Poincar\'e…

We prove a version of the Stokes formula for differential forms on locally convex spaces. The main tool used for proving this formula is the surface layer theorem proved in another paper by the author. Moreover, for differential forms of a…

In this paper, we study the existence of traces for Sobolev spaces on the hyperbolic filling $X$ of a compact metric space $Z$ equipped with a doubling measure. Given a suitable metric on $X$, we can regard $Z$ as the boundary of $X$. After…

This is an exposition of the theory of differentiable structures on metric measures spaces, in the sense of Cheeger and Keith.

The essential role played by differentiable structures in physics is reviewed in light of recent mathematical discoveries that topologically trivial space-time models, especially the simplest one, ${\bf R^4}$, possess a rich multiplicity of…

We prove that the geodesic equations of all Sobolev metrics of fractional order one and higher on spaces of diffeomorphisms and, more generally, immersions are locally well posed. This result builds on the recently established real analytic…

In this paper, an approach for generalizing the Gromov-Hausdorff metric is presented, which applies to metric spaces equipped with some additional structure. A special case is the Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov metric between measured metric…

We study several problems concerning conformal transformation on metric measure spaces, including the Sobolev space, the differential structure and the curvature-dimension condition under conformal transformations. This is the first result…

An apparently new concept of maximal mean difference quotient is defined for functions in the Lebesgue space $L_{loc}(R^n)$. Our definitions are meaningful for vector valued functions on general measure metric spaces as well and seem to…

Given $p \in (1,\infty)$, let $(\operatorname{X},\operatorname{d},\mu)$ be a metric measure space with uniformly locally doubling measure $\mu$ supporting a weak local $(1,p)$-Poincar\'e inequality. For each $\theta \in [0,p)$, we…

These lecture notes contain an extended version of the material presented in the C.I.M.E. summer course in 2017, aiming to give a detailed introduction to the metric Sobolev theory. The notes are divided in four main parts. The first one is…

The aim of this work is to study the first order Dirac-Sobolev spaces in $L^p$ norm on an open subset of ${\mathbb R}^3$ to clarify its relationship with the corresponding Sobolev spaces. It is shown that for $1< p <\infty$, they coincide,…

In this paper we define difference operators and homogeneous Sobolev-type spaces on the dual of a compact Lie group. As an application and to show that this defines a relevant differential structure, we state and prove multiplier theorems…
