Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev spaces with zero boundary values on metric measure spaces

We define and study Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev spaces with zero boundary values on any metric space endowed with a Borel regular measure. We extend many classical results, including completeness, lattice properties and removable sets, to Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces. We give sufficient conditions which guarantee that a Sobolev function can be approximated by Lipschitz continuous functions vanishing outside an open set. These conditions are based on Hardy type inequalities.     

Coercive inequalities on metric measure spaces

In this paper we study coercive inequalities on finite dimensional metric spaces with probability measures which do not have the volume doubling property.     

Band-dominated operators on metric measure spaces

We generalise the notion of band-dominated operators originally introduced for the space ℓ_p(ℤⁿ) to the setup of metric measure spaces and show various algebraic properties of this space of operators. (© 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Parabolic flow on metric measure spaces

We present parabolic equations on metric measure spaces. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions. Under some assumptions the existence of global in time solution is proved. Moreover, regularity and qualitative property of the solutions are shown.     

Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev空间中的单调性

利用Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev空间的结构特点,借鉴Orlicz-Sobolev空间中的单调性,给出并证明了赋Luxemburg范数的Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev空间具有一致单调性、上(下)局部一致单调性和严格单调性的充要条件.     

Diffusion polynomial frames on metric measure spaces

We construct a multiscale tight frame based on an arbitrary orthonormal basis for the L² space of an arbitrary sigma finite measure space. The approximation properties of the resulting multiscale are studied in the context of Besov approximation spaces, which are characterized both in terms of suitable K-functionals and the frame transforms. The only major condition required is the uniform boundedness of a summability operator. We give sufficient conditions for this to hold in the context of a very general class of metric measure spaces. The theory is illustrated using the approximation of characteristic functions of caps on a dumbell manifold, and applied to the problem of recognition of hand-written digits. Our methods outperforms comparable methods for semi-supervised learning.     

Heat kernel characterisation of Besov-Lipschitz spaces on metric measure spaces

We give a heat-kernel characterisation of the Besov-Lipschitz spaces Lip (α, p, q)(X) on domains which support a Markovian kernel with appropriate exponential bounds. This extends former results of Grigor’yan et al. (Trans Am Math Soc 355:2065–2095, 2008), Hu and Zähle (Studia Math 170:259–281, 2005), Pietruska-Pa?uba (Stoch Stoch Rep 67:267–285, 1999; 70:153–164, 2000), which were valid for ${\alpha = \frac{d_w}{2}, p = 2, q = \infty}$ , where d _w is the walk dimension of the space X.     

Probability distribution of metric measure spaces

In this paper we are going to generalize Gromov's mm-Reconstruction theorem (cf. [Metric Structures for Riemannian and Non-Riemannian Spaces, Birkhäuser, Basel, 1999] ) to a probability measures on the spaces of mm-spaces. And for this purpose, we give alternative proof of mm-Reconstruction theorem.     

Space filling with metric measure spaces

We show a sharp relationship between the existence of space filling mappings with an upper gradient in a Lorentz space and the Poincaré inequality in a general metric setting. As key examples, we consider these phenomena in Cantor diamond spaces and the Heisenberg groups.     

A splitting theorem on smooth metric measure spaces

We consider a smooth metric measure space (M, g, e ^?f dv). Let ?? _f be its weighted Laplacian. Assuming that ??₁(?? _f ) is positive and the m-dimensional Bakry-émery curvature is bounded below in terms of ??₁(?? _f ), we prove a splitting theorem for (M, g, e ^?f dv). This theorem generalizes previous results by Lam and Li-Wang (Trans Am Math Soc 362:5043?C5062, 2010; J Diff Geom 58:501?C534, 2001; see also J Diff Geom 62:143?C162, 2002).     

A differentiable structure for metric measure spaces

The main result of this paper is the provision of conditions under which a metric measure space admits a differentiable structure. This differentiable structure gives rise to a finite-dimensional L^∞ cotangent bundle over the given metric measure space and then to a Sobolev space H^1,p over the given metric measure space, the latter which is reflexive for p>1. This extends results of Cheeger (Geom. Funct. Anal. 9 (1999) (3) 428) to a wider collection of metric measure spaces.     

A curvature-dimension condition for metric measure spaces

We present a curvature-dimension condition $\mathit{CD}(K,N)$ for metric measure spaces $(M,\mathsf{d},m)$. In some sense, it will be the geometric counterpart to the Bakry–Émery [D. Bakry, M. Émery, Diffusions hypercontractives, in: Séminaire de Probabilités XIX, in: Lecture Notes in Math., vol. 1123, Springer, Berlin, 1985, pp. 177–206. [1]] condition for Dirichlet forms. For Riemannian manifolds, it holds if and only if $\dim (M)?N$ and ${\mathrm{Ric}}_M(\xi ,\xi )?K?{|\xi |}^2$ for all $\xi \in \mathit{TM}$. The curvature bound introduced in [J. Lott, C. Villani, Ricci curvature for metric-measure spaces via optimal transport, Annals of Math., in press. [4]; K.T. Sturm, Generalized Ricci bounds and convergence of metric measure spaces, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 340 (2005) 235–238. [6]; K.T. Sturm, On the geometry of metric measure spaces. I, Acta Math., in press. [7]] is the limit case $\mathit{CD}(K,\infty )$.Our curvature-dimension condition is stable under convergence. Furthermore, it entails various geometric consequences e.g. the Bishop–Gromov theorem and the Bonnet–Myers theorem. In both cases, we obtain the sharp estimates known from the Riemannian case.

On the geometry of metric measure spaces

We introduce and analyze lower (Ricci) curvature bounds  ⩾ K for metric measure spaces . Our definition is based on convexity properties of the relative entropy regarded as a function on the L ₂-Wasserstein space of probability measures on the metric space . Among others, we show that  ⩾ K implies estimates for the volume growth of concentric balls. For Riemannian manifolds,  ⩾ K if and only if  ⩾ K for all . The crucial point is that our lower curvature bounds are stable under an appropriate notion of D-convergence of metric measure spaces. We define a complete and separable length metric D on the family of all isomorphism classes of normalized metric measure spaces. The metric D has a natural interpretation, based on the concept of optimal mass transportation. We also prove that the family of normalized metric measure spaces with doubling constant ⩽ C is closed under D-convergence. Moreover, the family of normalized metric measure spaces with doubling constant ⩽ C and diameter ⩽ L is compact under D-convergence.     

Cheeger-harmonic functions in metric measure spaces revisited

Let (X,d,μ)$(X,d,\mu )$ be a complete metric measure space, with μ   a locally doubling measure, that supports a local weak L²$L^2$-Poincaré inequality. By assuming a heat semigroup type curvature condition, we prove that Cheeger-harmonic functions are Lipschitz continuous on (X,d,μ)$(X,d,\mu )$. Gradient estimates for Cheeger-harmonic functions and solutions to a class of non-linear Poisson type equations are presented.     

De Lellis-Topping type inequalities on smooth metric measure spaces

We obtain some De Lellis-Topping type inequalities on the smooth metric measure spaces, some of them are as generalization of De Lellis-Topping type inequality that was proved by X. Cheng [Ann. Global Anal. Geom., 2013, 43: 153-160].     

Universal inequalities on complete noncompact smooth metric measure spaces

In this paper, we obtain universal inequalities for the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet problem and clamped plate problem of drifting Laplacian on (\(n+1\))-dimensional (\(n\ge 4\)) complete noncompact simply connected smooth metric measure spaces which meet some conditions of the sectional curvature and radial weighted Ricci curvature.
