Haïm Brezis the Fascinating Homotopy Structure of Sobolev Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
— We discuss recent developments in the study of the homotopy classes for the Sobolev spaces W 1, p (M ; N). In particular, we report on the work of H. Brezis Y. Li [5] and F.B. Hang F.H. Lin [9].

On Some Questions of Topology for S-valued Fractional Sobolev Spaces
Indeed, when sp < 2 this is the content of Theorem 1. When sp > 2, we use a) of Theorem 2 to connect u1, u2 ∈ W s,p (Ω;S) to v1, v2 ∈ C∞ (Ω̄;S); since Ω is simply connected, we may write vj = ej for φj ∈ C∞ (Ω̄;R) and then we connect v1 to v2 via e [(1−t)φ1+tφ2]. When M is a compact connected manifold, the study of the topology of W 1,p (Ω;M) was initiated in Brezis Li [7] (see also White [26] fo...
متن کاملSome new characterizations of Sobolev spaces
Abstract: This talk is on some new characterizations of Sobolev spaces which are based on non-local functionals whose roots are from definition of the fractional Sobolev spaces. New types of the Poincare inequality, the Sobolev inequality, and the Reillich Kondrachov compactness theorem will also be discussed. Possible applications for image processing will be mentioned. This is partially joint...

متن کاملLifting in Sobolev Spaces
for some function φ : Ω → R. The objective is to find a lifting φ “as regular as u permits.” For example, if u is continuous one may choose φ to be continuous and if u ∈ C one may also choose φ to be C. A more delicate result asserts that if u ∈ VMO (= vanishing means oscillation), then one may choose φ to be also VMO (see R. Coifman and Y. Meyer [1] and H. Brezis and L. Nirenberg [1]). In this...
متن کاملNew Characterizations of Magnetic Sobolev Spaces
Abstract. We establish two new characterizations of magnetic Sobolev spaces for Lipschitz magnetic fields in terms of nonlocal functionals. The first one is related to the BBM formula, due to Bourgain, Brezis, and Mironescu. The second one is related to the work of the first author on the classical Sobolev spaces. We also study the convergence almost everywhere and the convergence in L appearin...
