چکیده

This paper deals with the operation .9R 'of symmetric decreasing re-arrangement which maps Wl,p (Rn) to Wi ,p (Rn) . We show that even thoughit is norm decreasing, .9R is not continuous for n ~ 2. The functions at which.9R is continuous are precisely characterized by a new property called co-arearegularity. Every sufficiently differentiable function is co-area regular, and boththe regular and the irregular functions are dense in Wi ,P(Rn ). Curiously, .9Ris always continuous in fractional Sobolev spaces W'" P (Rn) with 0 < a < I .

Isotropic steady states in galactic dynamics revised

The present paper completes our earlier results on nonlinear stability of stationary solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system in the stellar dynamics case. By minimizing the energy under a mass-Casimir constraint we construct a large class of isotropic, spherically symmetric steady states and prove their nonlinear stability against general, i. e., not necessarily symmetric perturbations. The clas...

The Rearrangement Inequality for the Ergodic Maximal Function

The equivalence of the decreasing rearrangement of the ergodic maximal function and the maximal function of the decreasing rearrangement is proved. Exact constants are obtained in the corresponding inequalities. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 28D05, 26D15.

We give a new proof of certain cases of the sharp HLS inequality. Instead of symmetric decreasing rearrangement it uses the reflection positivity of inversions in spheres. In doing this we extend a characterization of the minimizing functions due to Li and Zhu.

Rearrangement inequalities for functionals with monotone integrands

Abstract The inequalities of Hardy-Littlewood and Riesz say that certain integrals involving products of two or three functions increase under symmetric decreasing rearrangement. It is known that these inequalities extend to integrands of the form F (u1, . . . , um) where F is supermodular; in particular, they hold when F has nonnegative mixed second derivatives ∂i∂jF for all i 6= j. This paper...
