This is the first of two works concerning the Sobolev calculus on metric measure spaces and its applications. In this work, we focus on several notions of metric Sobolev space and on their equivalence. More precisely, we give a systematic…
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…
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…
Using a generalization of complexes, called 2-complexes, this paper defines and analyzes new Sobolev spaces of matrix fields and their interrelationships within a commuting diagram. These spaces have very weak second-order derivatives. An…
Reparametrization invariant Sobolev metrics on spaces of regular curves have been shown to be of importance in the field of mathematical shape analysis. For practical applications, one usually discretizes the space of smooth curves and…
In this article we prove completeness results for Sobolev metrics with nonconstant coefficients on the space of immersed curves and on the space of unparametrized curves. We provide necessary as well as sufficient conditions for the…

We introduce a notion of differential of a Sobolev map between metric spaces. The differential is given in the framework of tangent and cotangent modules of metric measure spaces, developed by the first author. We prove that our notion is…
We study the large-scale behavior of Newton-Sobolev functions on complete, connected, proper, separable metric measure spaces equipped with a Borel measure $\mu$ with $\mu(X) = \infty$ and $0 < \mu(B(x, r)) < \infty$ for all $x \in X$ and…
On fractals, different measures (mutually singular in general) are involved to measure volumes of sets and energies of functions. Singularity of measures brings difficulties in (especially non-linear) analysis on fractals. In this paper, we…
In this article, the authors introduce the Newton-Morrey-Sobolev space on a metric measure space $(\mathscr{X},d,\mu)$. The embedding of the Newton-Morrey-Sobolev space into the H\"older space is obtained if $\mathscr{X}$ supports a weak…
The paper presents a general duality theory for vector measure spaces taking its origin in the author's papers written in the 1960s. The main result establishes a direct correspondence between the geometry of a measure in a vector space and…
We study partial derivatives on the product of two metric measure structures, in particular in connection with calculus via modules as proposed by the first named author. Our main results are 1) The extension to this non-smooth framework of…
We present developments in the theory of Korevaar-Schoen-Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces. While this theory coincides with those of Cheeger and Shanmugalingam if the space is doubling and satisfies a Poincar\'e inequality, it offers…
In this paper we make a survey of some recent developments of the theory of Sobolev spaces $W^{1,q}(X,\sfd,\mm)$, $1<q<\infty$, in metric measure spaces $(X,\sfd,\mm)$. In the final part of the paper we provide a new proof of the…
