We describe the isometry group of $L^2(\Omega, M)$ for Riemannian manifolds $M$ of dimension at least two with irreducible universal cover. We establish a rigidity result for the isometries of these spaces: any isometry arises from an…

We completely characterize the validity of the inequality $\|u\|_{Y(\mathbb{R}^n)}\leq C \|\nabla^m u\|_{X(\mathbb{R}^n)}$, where $X$ and $Y$ are rearrangement-invariant spaces, by reducing it to a considerably simpler one-dimensional…

The classical sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality states that, for $1<p, t<\infty$ and $0<\lambda=n-\alpha <n$ with $ 1/p +1 /t+ \lambda /n=2$, there is a best constant $N(n,\lambda,p)>0$, such that $$ |\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}…

For a function $f$ from the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(C)$ ($C\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is an open convex cone), a sharp inequality that estimates $\| f\|_{L_{\infty}}$ via the $L_{p}$-norm of its gradient and a seminorm of the function is obtained.…
