We establish that trace inequalities $$\|D^{k-1}u\|_{L^{\frac{n-s}{n-1}}(\mathbb{R}^{n},d\mu)} \leq c \|\mu\|_{L^{1,n-s}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}^{\frac{n-1}{n-s}}\|\mathbb{A}[D]u\|_{L^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n},d\mathscr{L}^{n})}$$ hold for vector fields…
In this note, we study the complex constant rank condition for differential operators and its implications for coercive differential inequalities. These are inequalities of the form \[ \Vert A u \Vert_{L^p} \leq \Vert \mathscr{A} u…
We study uniform Sobolev inequalities for the second order differential operators $P(D)$ of non-elliptic type. For $d\ge3$ we prove that the Sobolev type estimate $\|u\|_{L^q(\mathbb{R}^d)}\le C \|P(D)u\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)}$ holds with $C$…
The estimate [\lVert D^{k-1}u\rVert_{L^{n/(n-1)}} \le \lVert A(D)u \rVert_{L^1} ] is shown to hold if and only if (A(D)) is elliptic and canceling. Here (A(D)) is a homogeneous linear differential operator (A(D)) of order (k) on…
Given a homogeneous k-th order differential operator $A (D)$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ between two finite dimensional spaces, we establish the Hardy inequality $$\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \frac{\lvert D^{k-1}u\rvert}{\lvert x \rvert} \,\mathrm{d} x \leq…

We focus on Korn-Maxwell-Sobolev inequalities for operators of reduced constant rank. These inequalities take the form \[ \|P - \Pi_{\mathbb{B}} \Pi_{\ker\mathscr{A}} P\|_{\dot{\mathrm{W}}^{k-1, p^*}(\mathbb{R}^n)} \le c \,…
We prove that the critical embedding $\mathrm{W}^{\mathbb{A},1}(B)\hookrightarrow \mathrm{W}^{k-1,\frac{n}{n-1}}$ holds if and only if the $k$-homogeneous, linear differential operator $\mathbb{A}$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ from $\mathbb{R}^N$ to…
In this paper we give a streamlined proof of an inequality recently obtained by the author: For every $\alpha \in (0,1)$ there exists a constant $C=C(\alpha,d)>0$ such that \begin{align*} \|u\|_{L^{d/(d-\alpha),1}(\mathbb{R}^d)} \leq C \|…
The injectively elliptic vector differential operators $A (\mathrm{D})$ from $V$ to $E$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that the estimate \[ \Vert D^\ell u\Vert_{L^{n/(n - \ell)} (\mathbb{R}^n)} \le \Vert A (\mathrm{D}) u\Vert_{L^1 (\mathbb{R}^n)}…
Let $1 < p < \infty$ and let $\Omega$ be an open and bounded set of $\mathbb R^n$. We establish classical Korn inequalities \[ \inf_{\substack{v \in L^p(\Omega)\\\mathcal A v = 0}} \|u - v\|_{W^{k,p}(\Omega)} \le C \| \mathcal A…
We prove a family of Sobolev inequalities of the form $$ \Vert u \Vert_{L^{\frac{n}{n-1}, 1} (\mathbb{R}^n,V)} \le \Vert A (D) u \Vert_{L^1 (\mathbb{R}^n,E)} $$ where $A (D) : C^\infty_c (\mathbb{R}^n, V) \to C^\infty_c (\mathbb{R}^n, E)$…
Carbery proved that if $u:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a positive, strictly convex function satisfying $\det D^2u \geq 1$, then we have the estimate $$ \left| \left\{x \in \mathbb{R}^n: u(x) \leq s \right\} \right| \lesssim_n…
We prove that functions of locally bounded deformation on $\mathbb{R}^n$ are $\mathrm{L}^{n/(n-1)}$-differentiable almost everywhere. More generally, we show that this critical $\mathrm{L}^p$-differentiability result holds for functions of…

The Lie-algebraic method approximates differential operators that are formal polynomials of {1,x,d/dx} by linear operators acting on a finite dimensional space of polynomials. In this paper we prove that the rank of the n-dimensional…

Suppose $\mathcal{A}$ is a compact normal operator on a Hilbert space $H$ with certain lacunarity condition on the spectrum (which means, in particular, that its eigenvalues go to zero exponentially fast), and let $\mathcal{L}$ be its rank…
By a result of Lundquist-Barrett, it follows that the rank of a positive semi-definite matrix is less than or equal to the sum of the ranks of its principal diagonal submatrices when written in block form. In this article, we take a general…
