Subelliptic p-harmonic maps into spheres and the ghost of Hardy spaces

چکیده
The story begins with the paper of Müller, [59], who — for the sake of an application to nonlinear elasticity — proved that if the Jacobian determinant Ju of a Sobolev map u ∈ W 1,n loc (Rn ,Rn ) is nonnegative, then it belongs locally to L log L. The result is quite intriguing, since a priori Hölder inequality implies only that Ju ∈ L1 and one does not suspect any higher integrability. If one does not assume that Ju is nonnegative, then, as Coifman, Lions, Meyer and Semmes [14] have proved, Ju belongs to the local Hardy space H 1 loc. Since a nonnegative function belongs to the local Hardy space if and only if it belongs locally to L log L, the result of Coifman, Lions, Meyer and Semmes generalizes that of Müller. In fact, Coifman, Lions, Meyer and Semmes proved more. Namely, for 1 < p < ∞, the scalar product of a divergence free vector field E ∈ Lp(Rn ,Rn ) and a curl free vector field B ∈ Lp/(p−1)(Rn ,Rn ) belongs to the Hardy space H 1. A priori, Hölder inequality implies integrability of this expression only. Note that the Jacobian is of this form. The discovery that many algebraic expressions involving partial derivatives belong to the Hardy space turned out to be important and widely applicable in nonlinear partial differential equations. This was first shown by Hélein, [40], [41], [42]. Let us describe briefly his result. Consider maps u : Bn → S m from the n-dimensional ball to the mdimensional sphere such that the p-energy of u , given by the functional

$L_{p;r} $ spaces: Cauchy Singular Integral, Hardy Classes and Riemann-Hilbert Problem in this Framework
In the present work the space $L_{p;r} $ which is continuously embedded into $L_{p} $ is introduced. The corresponding Hardy spaces of analytic functions are defined as well. Some properties of the functions from these spaces are studied. The analogs of some results in the classical theory of Hardy spaces are proved for the new spaces. It is shown that the Cauchy singular integral operator is...
متن کاملHarmonic tori in spheres and complex projective spaces
Introduction A map : M ! N of Riemannian manifolds is harmonic if it extremises the energy functional: Z jdj 2 dvol on every compact subdomain of M. Harmonic maps arise in many diierent contexts in Geometry and Physics (for an overview, see 15,16]) but the setting of concern to us is the following: take M to be 2-dimensional and N to be a Riemannian symmetric space of compact type. In this case...

We study a nonlinear harmonic map type system of subelliptic PDE. In particular, we solve the Dirichlet problem with image contained in a convex ball.
متن کاملFixed point of generalized contractive maps on S^{JS}- metric spaces with two metrics
In this paper we prove existence of fixed point theorems for Z-contractive map, Geraghty type contractive map and interpolative Hardy-Rogers type contractive mapping in the setting of SJS- metric spaces with two metrics. Examples are constructed to high light the significance of newly obtained results.
