We study the qualitative stability of two classes of Sobolev inequalities on Riemannian manifolds. In the case of positive Ricci curvature, we prove that an almost extremal function for the sharp Sobolev inequality is close to an extremal…

If one thinks of a Riemannian metric, $g_1$, analogously as the gradient of the corresponding distance function, $d_1$, with respect to a background Riemannian metric, $g_0$, then a natural question arises as to whether a corresponding…

We study the Sobolev trace constant for functions defined in a bounded domain $\O$ that vanish in the subset $A.$ We find a formula for the first variation of the Sobolev trace with respect to hole. As a consequence of this formula, we…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, smooth domain of $\mathbb{R}^{N},$ $N\geq2.$ For $1<p<N$ and $0<q(p)<p^{\ast}:=\frac{Np}{N-p}$ let \[ \lambda_{p,q(p)}:=\inf\left\{ \int_{\Omega}\left\vert \nabla u\right\vert ^{p}\mathrm{d}x:u\in…

If $\Omega \subset \R^n$ is a smooth bounded domain and $q \in (0, \frac{n}{n-1})$ we consider the Poincare-Sobolev inequality \[ c \Bigl(\int_{\Omega} \abs{u}^\frac{n}{n-1}\Bigr)^{1-\frac{1}{n}} \le \int_{\Omega} \abs{Du}, \] for every $u…

In this note we establish the boundedness properties of local maximal operators $M_G$ on the fractional Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p}(G)$ whenever $G$ is an open set in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $0<s<1$ and $1<p<\infty$. As an application, we characterize…

We prove lifting theorems for complex representations $V$ of finite groups $G$. Let $\sigma=(\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_n)$ be a minimal system of homogeneous basic invariants and let $d$ be their maximal degree. We prove that any continuous map…

We consider the sharp Sobolev-Poincar\'e constant for the embedding of $W^{1,2}_0(\Omega)$ into $L^q(\Omega)$. We show that such a constant exhibits an unexpected dual variational formulation, in the range $1<q<2$. Namely, this can be…

We initiate the study of fine $p$-(super)minimizers, associated with $p$-harmonic functions, on finely open sets in metric spaces, where $1 < p < \infty$. After having developed their basic theory, we obtain the $p$-fine continuity of the…

Let $k,N \in \mathbb{N}$ with $1\le k\le N$ and let $\Omega=\Omega_1 \times \Omega_2$ be an open set in $\mathbb{R}^k \times \mathbb{R}^{N-k}$. For $p\in (1,\infty)$ and $q \in (0,\infty),$ we consider the following Hardy-Sobolev type…
