Abstract

We establish that the definition of Sobolev mappings from metric measure spaces to metric spaces relying on the post-composition approach of Ambrosio-Reshetnyak admits, under certain transparent assumptions on the spaces, an equivalent reformulation that is substantially weaker than the principal version. In detail, the corresponding definition requires for maps of such a kind to be called Sobolev to meet first a ''qualitative'' test and then a ''quantitative'' test. At the same time, our result allows one to draw the relevant conclusion solely based on the ''qualitative'' part. Remarkably, the conditions on the spaces sufficient for this to hold fit entirely into the singular flavor of the subject. More explicitly, such a phenomenon emerges if either the source space is of finite Hausdorff dimension and satisfies the Sobolev-to-Luzin-Lipschitz property or the target space is of finite Hausdorff dimension. All this provides a significant generalization of several earlier achievements on the topic.

Operations on $\mathscr{M}\otimes_{\mathcal{A}(U)}\mathrm{Alt}^{\bullet}(U,M)$. Stokes theorem for locally convex linear space valued forms. Divergence theorem for locally convex linear space valued vector fields

We extend to $\mathscr{M}\otimes_{\mathcal{A}(U)}\mathfrak{T}_{\bullet}^{\bullet}(U,M)$ the usual operations defined on $\mathfrak{T}_{\bullet}^{\bullet}(U,M)$, then by employing the properties of the projective tensor product of locally convex spaces, we generalize to $\mathscr{M}\otimes_{\mathcal{A}(U)}\mathrm{Alt}^{\bullet}(U,M)$ the usual wedge product, insertion operator and exterior differential defined on $\mathrm{Alt}^{\bullet}(U,M)$ and establish their properties. Here $M$ is a smooth finite dimensional manifold, $U$ an open submanifold of $M$, $\mathcal{A}(U)$ the ring of smooth maps on $U$, $\mathfrak{T}_{\bullet}^{\bullet}(U,M)$ the $\mathcal{A}(U)$-module of smooth tensor fields of $M$ defined on $U$, $\mathrm{Alt}^{\bullet}(U,M)$ the $\mathcal{A}(U)$-module of smooth alternating tensor fields of $M$ defined on $U$, while $\mathscr{M}$ is a $\mathcal{A}(U)$-module. $\mathscr{M}$ depending by the operation might be either general, or one of the following function spaces: $\mathscr{L}_{c}^{1}(U,G,λ)$, $\mathscr{L}_{loc}^{1}(U,G,λ)$, $\mathcal{B}^{p}(U,G)$ with $G$ a Hausdorff locally convex space. This framenwork permits to construct the divergence of a $G$-valued $p$-times continuously differentiable vector field, to define the weak integral of $G$-valued compactly supported scalarly integrable maximal forms, to associate a $G$-valued measure with any locally integrable $G$-valued form, to establish a Stokes type theorem for $G$-valued compactly supported $p$-times continuously differentiable forms and to obtain a divergence type theorem for $G$-valued $p$-times continously differentiable vector fields.

The Grothendieck Constant is Strictly Larger than Davie-Reeds' Bound

The Grothendieck constant $K_{G}$ is a fundamental quantity in functional analysis, with important connections to quantum information, combinatorial optimization, and the geometry of Banach spaces. Despite decades of study, the value of $K_{G}$ is unknown. The best known lower bound on $K_{G}$ was obtained independently by Davie and Reeds in the 1980s. In this paper we show that their bound is not optimal. We prove that $K_{G} \ge K_{DR} + 10^{-12}$, where $K_{DR}$ denotes the Davie-Reeds lower bound. Our argument is based on a perturbative analysis of the Davie-Reeds operator. We show that every near-extremizer for the Davie-Reeds problem has $Ω(1)$ weight on its degree-3 Hermite coefficients, and therefore introducing a small cubic perturbation increases the integrality gap of the operator.

Higher-order differentiability of Korevaar--Schoen energy forms and energy measures

In this paper, we investigate the differentiability of Korevaar--Schoen $p$-energy forms and the associated $p$-energy measures. We obtain higher-order derivatives by virtue of explicit realizations of Korevaar--Schoen $p$-energy forms and the associated $p$-energy measures as subsequential pointwise limits of certain double integrals.
