Abstract

We study uniformity of Sobolev mixing estimates for rational maps and uniformly quasiregular mappings. For rational maps of fixed degree, the optimal centered Sobolev trace constant $A_f$ is a continuous proper function on M\"obius moduli space. Uniform bounds on $A_f$ therefore characterize relative compactness in moduli, and a minimizing class exists in every degree. In the setting of uniformly quasiregular endomorphisms of degree $d\ge2$ on closed $n$-manifolds with an invariant conformal structure, the $k$th centered transfer operator from critical Sobolev energy into $L^1$ of the equilibrium measure has norm $A_f d^{-k/n}$. On the mean-zero Sobolev space, the spectrum and Fredholm essential spectrum are the closed disk of radius $d^{-1/n}$, with infinite-dimensional eigenspaces throughout its interior. The proofs use the energy scaling of pullback, a bounded equilibrium trace, and an obstruction from atoms of intermediate mass. Combined with conformal barycenter normalization and DeMarco--Faber's degeneration theorem, this obstruction gives the moduli compactness criterion. Explicit families illustrate the distinction between degeneration and concentration caused by changes of coordinates.

On the equivalence of Sobolev norms in infinite dimensions

We prove dimension-free higher-order Sobolev norm estimates on open convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to Gaussian measure and use them to obtain norm equivalence on nonempty open convex subsets of $\ell^2$ endowed with a nondegenerate Gaussian measure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such eq...

Weak-type characterizations of Sobolev and bounded variation spaces on metric measure spaces

Given a complete doubling metric measure space $(X,\rho,\mu)$ supporting a Poincar\'e inequality, we prove weak-type characterizations of the Sobolev space $\dot{W}^{1,p}(\mu)$ and the space of functions of bounded variation, achieving a full analogy in general Poincar\'e spaces with the Euclidean results of Brezis et...

Brownian Loops, Singular Homology, and Asymptotic Cycles

Let $M$ be a closed connected Riemannian manifold. A continuous semimartingale segment can be closed by a Borel family of paths of uniformly bounded length, producing a singular homology class $H_t\in H_1(M;\R)$. For every linear choice of smooth closed representatives of $H^1(M;\R)$, the corresponding Stratonovich hom...

Optimal Sobolev Rate for Gaussian Density Approximation of Wiener Chaos Vectors

Let $(F_n)$ be a sequence of random vectors with identity covariance matrix whose components belong to the same fixed Wiener chaos, and assume that $F_n$ converges in law to a standard Gaussian vector. We prove that, for every integer $m\geq0$ and every $p\in[1,\infty]$, the optimal rate of convergence of the densities...

Existence and Regularity of Stable Resonant Spectral Submanifolds and Linearization Maps

We prove the existence of $C^{r,1-}$-regular stable invariant manifolds and linear conjugacies for analytic maps near a hyperbolic fixed point in the presence of resonances. The regularity exponent $r$ depends on the minimal resonant index, while the H\"older exponent can be chosen arbitrarily close to $1$, i.e., $1-\v...

Universal Spacelikeness Estimates and Liouville Rigidity for Lorentzian $\sigma_k$ Curvature Equations

We study nonnegative entire spacelike graphs in Lorentz--Minkowski space satisfying $\sigma_k(A[u])=u^p$. For $2\le k<n$ and $p\ge k$, pointwise strict spacelikeness and closed $k$-admissibility yield universal bounds for the height and Lorentz factor. Their proof combines block coercivity in the full G\r{a}rding cone,...
