The square root problem for second order, divergence form operators with mixed boundary conditions on $L^p$

We show that, under general conditions, the operator $\bigl (-\nabla \cdot μ\nabla +1\bigr)^{1/2}$ with mixed boundary conditions provides a topological isomorphism between $W^{1,p}_D(Ω)$ and $L^p(Ω)$, for $p \in {]1,2[}$ if one presupposes that this isomorphism holds true for $p=2$. The domain $Ω$ is assumed to be bounded, the Dirichlet part $D$ of the boundary has to satisfy the well-known Ahlfors-David condition, whilst for the points from $\overline {\partial Ω\setminus D}$ the existence of bi-Lipschitzian boundary charts is required.

Algebra properties for Sobolev spaces- Applications to semilinear PDE's on manifolds

In this work, we aim to prove algebra properties for generalized Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p} \cap L^\infty$ on a Riemannian manifold, where $W^{s,p}$ is of Bessel-type $W^{s,p}:=(1+L)^{-s/m}(L^p)$ with an operator $L$ generating a heat semigroup satisfying off-diagonal decays. We don't require any assumption on the gradient of the semigroup. To do that, we propose two different approaches (one by a new kind of paraproducts and another one using functionals). We also give a chain rule and study the action of nonlinearities on these spaces and give applications to semi-linear PDEs. These results are new on Riemannian manifolds (with a non bounded geometry) and even in the Euclidean space for Sobolev spaces associated to second order uniformly elliptic operators in divergence form.

An atomic decomposition of the Hajłasz Sobolev space $\Mone$ on manifolds

Several possible notions of Hardy-Sobolev spaces on a Riemannian manifold with a doubling measure are considered. Under the assumption of a Poincaré inequality, the space $\Mone$, defined by Hajłasz, is identified with a Hardy-Sobolev space defined in terms of atoms. Decomposition results are proved for both the homogeneous and the nonhomogeneous spaces.

Sobolev spaces on multiple cones

The purpose of this note is to discuss how various Sobolev spaces defined on multiple cones behave with respect to density of smooth functions, interpolation and extension/restriction to/from $\RR^n$. The analysis interestingly combines use of Poincaré inequalities and of some Hardy type inequalities.

Abstract Hardy-Sobolev spaces and interpolation

The purpose of this work is to describe an abstract theory of Hardy-Sobolev spaces on doubling Riemannian manifolds via an atomic decomposition. We study the real interpolation of these spaces with Sobolev spaces and finally give applications to Riesz inequalities.

New Calderón-Zygmund decompositions

We state a new Calderon-Zygmund decomposition for Sobolev spaces on a doubling Riemannian manifold. Our hypotheses are weaker than those of the already known decomposition which used classical Poincare inequalities.

Real interpoaltion of Sobolev spaces associated to a weight

We study the interpolation property of Sobolev spaces of order 1 denoted by $W^{1}_{p,V}$, arising from Schrödinger operators with positive potential. We show that for $1\leq p_1 s_0$, $W^{1}_{p,V}$ is a real interpolation space between $W_{p_1,V}^{1}$ and $W_{p_2,V}^{1}$ on some classes of manifolds and Lie groups. The constants $s_{0}, q_{0}$ depend on our hypotheses.

Real interpolation of Sobolev spaces

We prove that $W^{1}_{p}$ is an interpolation space between $W^{1}_{p_{1}}$ and $W^{1}_{p_{2}}$ for $p>q_{0}$ and $1\leq p_{1}<p<p_{2}\leq \infty$ on some classes of manifolds and general metric spaces, where $q_{0}$ depends on our hypotheses.

Interpolation of Sobolev spaces, Littlewood-Paley inequalities and Riesz transforms on graphs

Let $Γ$ be a graph endowed with a reversible Markov kernel $p$, and $P$ the associated operator, defined by $Pf(x)=\sum_y p(x,y)f(y)$. Denote by $\nabla$ the discrete gradient. We give necessary and/or sufficient conditions on $Γ$ in order to compare $\Vert \nabla f \Vert_{p}$ and $\Vert (I-P)^{1/2}f \Vert_{p}$ uniformly in $f$ for $1 2$. The proofs rely on recent techniques developed to handle operators beyond the class of Calderón-Zygmund operators. For our purpose, we also prove Littlewood-Paley inequalities and interpolation results for Sobolev spaces in this context, which are of independent interest.
