New Sobolev spaces via generalized Poincaré inequalities on metric measure spaces

In this paper, we introduce some new function spaces of Sobolev type on metric measure spaces. These new function spaces are defined by variants of Poincaré inequalities associated with generalized approximations of the identity, and they generalize the classical Sobolev spaces on Euclidean spaces. We then obtain two characterizations of these new Sobolev spaces including the characterization in terms of a variant of local sharp maximal functions associated with generalized approximations of the identity. For the well-known Hajłasz–Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces, we also establish some new characterizations related to generalized approximations of the identity. Finally, we clarify the relations between the Sobolev-type spaces introduced in this paper and the Hajłasz–Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces.     

Smooth metric measure spaces with weighted Poincaré inequality

In this paper, we study smooth metric measure space (M, g, e ^?f dv) satisfying a weighted Poincaré inequality and establish a rigidity theorem for such a space under a suitable Bakry–Émery curvature lower bound. We also consider the space of f-harmonic functions with finite energy and prove a structure theorem.

Hölder regularity for parabolic De Giorgi classes in metric measure spaces

We give a proof for the Hölder continuity of functions in the parabolic De Giorgi classes in metric measure spaces. We assume the measure to be doubling, to support a weak (1, p)-Poincaré inequality and to satisfy the annular decay property.     

Modulus and the Poincaré inequality on metric measure spaces

The purpose of this paper is to develop the understanding of modulus and the Poincaré inequality, as defined on metric measure spaces. Various definitions for modulus and capacity are shown to coincide for general collections of metric measure spaces. Consequently, modulus is shown to be upper semi-continuous with respect to the limit of a sequence of curve families contained in a converging sequence of metric measure spaces. Moreover, several competing definitions for the Poincaré inequality are shown to coincide, if the underlying measure is doubling. One such characterization considers only continuous functions and their continuous upper gradients, and extends work of Heinonen and Koskela. Applications include showing that the p-Poincaré inequality (with a doubling measure), for p1, persists through to the limit of a sequence of converging pointed metric measure spaces — this extends results of Cheeger. A further application is the construction of new doubling measures in Euclidean space which admit a 1-Poincaré inequality. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000):31C15, 46E35.     

New characterizations of Hajłasz-Sobolev spaces on metric spaces

This paper introduces the fractional Sobolev spaces on spaces of homogeneous type, including metric spaces and fractals. These Sobolev spaces include the well-known Hajłasz-Sobolev spaces as special models. The author establishes various characterizations of (sharp) maximal functions for these spaces. As applications, the author identifies the fractional Sobolev spaces with some Lipscitz-type spaces. Moreover, some embedding theorems are also given.     

Convergence of random zeros on complex manifolds

We show that the zeros of random sequences of Gaussian systems of polynomials of in- creasing degree almost surely converge to the expected limit distribution under very general hypotheses. In particular,the normalized distribution of zeros of systems of m polynomials of degree N,orthonor- malized on a regular compact set K(?)C~m,almost surely converge to the equilibrium measure on K as N→∞.     

A Weil–Petersson type metric on spaces of metric graphs

In this note, we discuss an analogue of the Weil–Petersson metric for spaces of metric graphs and some of its properties.     

Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequality on metric measure spaces with applications

We prove that if a metric measure space satisfies the volume doubling condition and the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequality with the same exponent $n \ge 3$ , then it has exactly the $n$ -dimensional volume growth. As an application, if an $n$ -dimensional Finsler manifold of non-negative $n$ -Ricci curvature satisfies the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequality with the sharp constant, then its flag curvature is identically zero. In the particular case of Berwald spaces, such a space is necessarily isometric to a Minkowski space.     

Weighted estimates for iterated commutators of multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators on non-homogeneous metric measure spaces

Let(X, d, μ) be a non-homogeneous metric measure space satisfying the so-called upper doubling and geometrically doubling conditions, which includes the space of homogeneous type and the Euclidean space with the non-doubling measure as special cases. Let T be a multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operator and ■:=(b1,..., bm) be a finite family of ■(μ) functions. In this paper, some weak-type multiple weighted estimates for the iterated commutator ■Tgenerated by T and ■ are obtained.     

Meir–Keeler-type conditions in abstract metric spaces

Various Meir–Keeler-type conditions for mappings acting in abstract metric spaces are presented and their connections are discussed. Results about associated symmetric spaces, obtained in [S. Radenovi?, Z. Kadelburg, Quasi-contractions on symmetric and cone symmetric spaces, Banach J. Math. Anal. 5 (2011), 38–50] are used to show that the regularity condition for the underlying cone can be dropped in some fixed point results that have appeared recently.     

Metrization of the Gromov–Hausdorff (-Prokhorov) topology for boundedly-compact metric spaces

In this work, it is proved that the set of boundedly-compact pointed metric spaces, equipped with the Gromov–Hausdorff topology, is a Polish space. The same is done for the Gromov–Hausdorff–Prokhorov topology. This extends previous works which consider only length spaces or discrete metric spaces. This is a measure theoretic requirement to study random boundedly-compact pointed (measured) metric spaces, which is the main motivation of this work. In particular, this provides a unified framework for studying random graphs, random discrete spaces and random length spaces. The proofs use a generalization of the classical theorem of Strassen, presented here, which is of independent interest. This generalization provides an equivalent formulation of the Prokhorov distance of two finite measures, having possibly different total masses, in terms of approximate couplings. A Strassen-type result is also provided for the Gromov–Hausdorff–Prokhorov metric for compact spaces.     

Approximative compactness and continuity of metric projector in Banach spaces and applications

First we prove that the approximative compactness of a nonempty set C in a normed linear space can be reformulated equivalently in another way.It is known that if C is a semi-Chebyshev closed and approximately compact set in a Banach space X,then the metric projectorπC from X onto C is continuous.Under the assumption that X is midpoint locally uniformly rotund,we prove that the approximative compactness of C is also necessary for the continuity of the projectorπC by the method of geometry of Banach spaces.Using this general result we find some necessary and sufficient conditions for T to have a continuous Moore-Penrose metric generalized inverse T~ ,where T is a bounded linear operator from an approximative compact and a rotund Banach space X into a midpoint locally uniformly rotund Banach space Y.     

Extensions of the Borel–Cantelli lemma in general measure spaces

In this paper, an important bilateral inequality for a sequence of nonnegative measurable functions on a measure space \((S,\mathcal {B}_S,\mu )\) is obtained, and some sufficient conditions for \(\mu \left( \limsup \limits _{n\rightarrow \infty }A_n\right) =\mu (S)\) are given. In addition, a weighted version of the Borel–Cantelli Lemma on the measure space is obtained. Our results generalize the corresponding ones for bounded random sequences to the case of unbounded measurable functions.
