The admittable Sobolev regularity is quantified for a function, $w$, which has a zero in the $d$--dimensional torus and whose reciprocal $u=1/w$ is a $(p,q)$--multiplier. Several aspects of this problem are addressed, including zero--sets…

Various theorems on convergence of general space homeomorphisms are proved and, on this basis, theorems on convergence and compactness for classes of the so-called ring $Q$--homeomorphisms are obtained. In particular, it was established by…

A map $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called weakly discontinuous if each subspace $A\subset X$ contains an open dense subspace $U\subset A$ such that the restriction $f|U$ is continuous. A bijective map $f:X\to Y$ between…

In various analytical contexts, it is proved that a weak Sobolev inequality implies a doubling property for the underlying measure.

We show that on $\mathbb S^1(1/\sqrt{d-2})\times\mathbb S^{d-1}(1)$ the conformally invariant Sobolev inequality holds with a remainder term that is the fourth power of the distance to the optimizers. The fourth power is best possible. This…

Let $F\in W^{1,n}_{\text{loc}}(\Omega; \Bbb R^n)$ be a mapping with nonnegative Jacobian $J_F(x)=\det DF(x)\ge 0$ for a.e. $x$ in a domain $\Omega\subset\Bbb R^n$. The {\it dilatation} of $F$ is defined (almost everywhere in $\Omega$) by…

We prove weak and strong versions of the coarea formula and the chain rule for distributional Jacobian determinants $Ju$ for functions $u$ in fractional Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$…

Let G be a noncompact connected Lie group and $\rho$ be the right Haar measure of G. Let $X_1,...,X_q$ be a family of left invariant vector fields which satisfy H\"ormander's condition, and let $\Delta=-\sum_{i=1}^qX_i^2$ be the…

Our aim is to characterize the homogeneous fractional Sobolev-Slobodecki\u{\i} spaces $\mathcal{D}^{s,p} (\mathbb{R}^n)$ and their embeddings, for $s \in (0,1]$ and $p\ge 1$. They are defined as the completion of the set of smooth and…

For each $p>1$ and each positive integer $m$ we give intrinsic characterizations of the restriction of the Sobolev space $W^m_p(R)$ and homogeneous Sobolev space $L^m_p(R)$ to an arbitrary closed subset $E$ of the real line. In particular,…

We study solvable Lie algebras in prime characteristic $p$ that admit non-singular derivations. We show that Jacobson's Theorem remains true if the quotients of the derived series have dimension less than~$p$. We also study the structure of…

Bourgain, Brezis & Mironescu showed that (with suitable scaling) the fractional Sobolev $s$-seminorm of a function $f\in W^{1,p}(\rn)$ converges to the Sobolev seminorm of $f$ as $s\to 1^-$. The anisotropic $s$-seminorms of $f$ defined by a…

Verifying lower-semicontinuity of integral functionals in the weak topology of Sobolev spaces is a central theme in the calculus of variations. For integral functionals with $p$-growth, quasiconvexity is a necessary condition for weak…

The Jacobian Conjecture uses the equation $det(Jac(F))\in k^*$, which is a very short way to write down many equations putting restrictions on the coefficients of a polynomial map $F$. In characteristic $p$ these equations do not suffice to…

We prove that weakly differentiable weights $w$ which, together with their reciprocals, satisfy certain local integrability conditions, admit a unique associated first-order $p$-Sobolev space, that is \[H^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^d,w\,\d…

We show that assuming the standard conjectures, for any smooth projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$ over an algebraically closed field, there is a constant $C>0$ such that for any positive rational number $r$ and for any polarized…

We establish the higher differentiability of solutions to a class of obstacle problems for integral functionals where the convex integrand f satisfies p-growth conditions with respect to the gradient variable. We derive that the higher…

Given a polynomial $f\in\mathbb{C}[x]$, we consider the family of superelliptic curves $y^d=f(x)$ and their Jacobians $J_d$ for varying integers $d$. We show that for any integer $g$ the number of abelian varieties up to isogeny of…
