We describe a recent, one-parameter family of characterizations of Sobolev and BV functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$, using sizes of superlevel sets of suitable difference quotients. This provides an alternative point of view to the BBM formula by…

In this paper we connect Calder\'on and Zygmund's notion of $L^p$\- -differentiability with some recent characterizations of Sobolev spaces via the asymptotics of non-local functionals due to Bourgain, Brezis, and Mironescu. We show how the…

We prove a rank-one theorem \`a la G. Alberti for the derivatives of vector-valued maps with bounded variation in a class of Carnot groups that includes Heisenberg groups $\mathbb H^n$ for $n\geq 2$. The main tools are properties relating…

In sub-Riemannian geometry there exist, in general, no known explicit representations of the heat kernels, and these functions fail to have any symmetry whatsoever. In particular, they are not a function of the control distance, nor they…

We introduce a large class of concentrated $p$-L\'{e}vy integrable functions approximating the unity, which serves as the core tool from which we provide a nonlocal characterization of Sobolev spaces and the space of functions of bounded…

In this note, we introduce a variant of Calder\'on and Zygmund's notion of $L^p$-differentiability - an \emph{$L^p$-Taylor approximation}. Our first result is that functions in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ possess a first order…

We study a characterization of BV and Sobolev functions via nonlocal functionals in metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincar\'e inequality. Compared with previous works, we consider more general functionals.…

We give a notion of BV function on an oriented manifold where a volume form and a family of lower semicontinuous quadratic forms $G_p: T_pM \to [0,\infty]$ are given. When we consider sub-Riemannian manifolds, our definition coincide with…

In this paper we provide two different characterizations of sets with finite perimeter and functions of bounded variation in Carnot groups, analogous to those which hold in Euclidean spaces, in terms of the short-time behaviour of the heat…

We develop characterizations for Sobolev spaces of potential type on graded Lie groups, by means of Littlewood-Paley square functions, and Strichartz functionals involving second-order differences. A key role is played by some mean value…

In the setting of Carnot groups, we prove the $q-$Logarithmic Sobolev inequality for probability measures as a function of the Carnot-Carath\'eodory distance. As an application, we use the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the setting of Carnot…

We give an intrinsic characterization of the restrictions of Sobolev, Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces to regular subsets of $R^n$ via sharp maximal functions and local approximations.

We investigate two types of characterizations for anisotropic Sobolev and BV spaces. In particular, we establish anisotropic versions of the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu formula, including the magnetic case both for Sobolev and BV functions.

We introduce the space SBV$_X$ of special functions with bounded $X$-variation in Carnot-Carath\'eodory spaces and study its main properties. Our main outcome is an approximation result, with respect to the BV$_X$ topology, for SBV$_X$…

The bounded variation seminorm and the Sobolev seminorm on compact manifolds are represented as a limit of fractional Sobolev seminorms. This establishes a characterization of functions of bounded variation and of Sobolev functions on…

Some results on the approximation of functions from the Sobolev spaces on metric graphs by step functions are obtained. The estimates are uniform with respect to all graphs of a given finite length, and the constant factors in the…

We study the pullback theorem of Sobolev mappings on Carnot groups via mollification of mappings. With the pullback theorem we extend the classical result proved by Xiangdong Xie : Rigidity of Sobolev mappings $W^{1,p}(G_1;G_2)$ for…

We study $L^p$ Besov critical exponents and isoperimetric and Sobolev inequalities associated with fractional Laplacians on metric measure spaces. The main tool is the theory of heat semigroup based Besov classes in Dirichlet spaces that…

We establish characterization of $H^1$ Sobolev spaces by certain square functions, improving previous results.

We introduce the class of bounded variation (BV) functions in a general framework of strictly local Dirichlet spaces with doubling measure. Under the 2-Poincar\'e inequality and a weak Bakry-\'Emery curvature type condition, this BV class…
