Abstract

In this paper we prove matrix weighted Sobolev and Poincar\'e inequalities using techniques derived from the theory of Rubio de Francia extrapolation. Given weights $w,\,v$ and a symmetric non-negative definite matrix valued function $Q$ defined on a connected open subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{f}R^n$ that satisfies the lower ellipticity condition \[ w(x)^p \leq |\sqrt{Q(x)}\xi|^p,\quad \xi\in \mathbb{R}^n, \] we give Lebesgue integrability conditions on the weights $w,v$ that ensure there exists $\tau\geq 1$ so that Sobolev and Poincar\'e inequalities of the form \[\bigg(\int_\Omega |u|^{\tau p} \,vdx\bigg)^{\frac{1}{\tau p}} \leq C(v,w) \bigg(\int_\Omega |\sqrt{Q}\nabla u|^p\,dx\bigg)^{\frac{1}{ p}},\textrm{ and}\] \[\bigg(\int_\Omega |u-\langle u\rangle_{\Omega,v}|^{\tau p} \,v dx\bigg)^\frac{1}{\tau p} \leq C(v,w)\bigg(\int_\Omega|\sqrt{Q}\nabla u|^p \, dx\bigg)^{\frac{1}{p}}\] hold for smooth $u$. We explore these and related results in the context of several examples that include John domains, the Heisenberg group, and CR manifolds.

Sobolev Inequalities and the Existence of Solutions to Degenerate $p$-Poisson Equations

In this paper we study an equivalence between the existence of a Sobolev inequality without gain, \[\|\varphi\|_{L^p(v,\Omega)} \leq S(p,1) \| \sqrt{Q}\nabla \varphi\|_{L^p(\Omega)},\] that holds for smooth functions of compact support and the existence of a degenerate weak solution $(u,\nabla u)\in QH^{1,p}_0(v,\Omega...

Critical Sobolev thresholds for openness and discreteness of Monge-Ampere gradient mappings

Let $\Omega\subset\R^n$ be a domain and let $u\in W^{2,n}_{\loc}(\Omega)$ satisfy \[ \det D^2u\geq\delta>0\qquad\text{a.e. in }\Omega. \] Guerra and Tione asked whether the gradient mapping $Du$ must be open and discrete. We give a negative answer in every dimension $n\geq4$, in a form that isolates the sharp regularit...

A sharp isoperimetric inequality for the Neumann--Poincar\'e operator in every dimension

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge2$, be a bounded connected domain with boundary of class $C^{1,\alpha}$, where $0<\alpha<1$. For the adjoint Neumann--Poincar\'e operator $K^*_{\partial\Omega}$, normalised so that its distinguished eigenvalue is $1/2$, let $\lambda_j^+(\Omega)$ denote the upper min--max values on...

A Remark on H\"ormander Multipliers on Dunkl Hardy Spaces

Let $\mathcal R$ be a normalized root system in $\mathbb R^N$ with a nonnegative multiplicity function $k$, and let $\mathcal F$ be the associated Dunkl transform. We prove a H\"ormander multiplier theorem on the Hardy spaces $H^p_{\mathrm{Dunkl}}$, $0<p\le1$, defined by conical Littlewood--Paley square functions. Let...

The sharp discrete Hardy inequality on $\Z^3$

We determine the sharp constant in the nearest-neighbor Hardy inequality on $\Z^3$ with the Euclidean inverse-square weight. For every finitely supported function $u:\Z^3\to\C$, we prove \[ \sum_{x\in\Z^3}\sum_{j=1}^3 |u(x+e_j)-u(x)|^2 \geq \frac14\sum_{x\in\Z^3\setminus\{0\}} \frac{|u(x)|^2}{|x|^2}. \] The coefficient...

Boundary-Weighted Fourier Inequalities for Convex Domains

We consider the natural family of Fourier inequalities for the Paley--Wiener space $\mathrm{PW}^q(\Omega)$, consisting of $L^q$-functions with Fourier support in a convex set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 2$, free of affine lines. Namely, \[ \int_{\Omega}\dfrac{|\hat{f}(x)|^p}{\omega_{\Omega}^d(x)}dx\leq C\|f\...
