Abstract: Let 1 < p < ∞ and let w be a weight satisfying the Muckenhoupt Ap condition. A distribution whose partial derivatives of m-th order all belong to the weighted L space L(R, w) is said to be a Beppo Levi function of order m with weight w. The space BLm(L(R, w)) of all Beppo Levi functions includes properly the weighted Sobolev space Wm(L(R, w)) = ∩k=0BLk(L(R, w)). While both the spaces ...

Filiados à Análise do Discurso, teoria que ancora e sustenta nossas tomadas de posição, mobilizamos conceitos Pêcheux (2014), Orlandi (2015) Venturini (2009), para o trabalho discursivo sujeito, funcionamento da memória discurso ‘ser homem’. O objeto análise é a obra É isto um homem , Primo Levi (2013), e, partir desse buscamos efeito realidade produzido pelo discurso, transita entre real imagi...

We show that on an open bounded smooth strongly pseudoconvex subset of C, there exists a Kähler-Einstein metric with positive Einstein constant, such that the metric restricted to the Levi distribution of the boundary is conformal to the Levi form. To achieve this, we solve an associated complex Monge-Ampère equation with Dirichlet boundary condition. We also prove uniqueness under some more as...

This article is dedicated to the centenary of the local CR equivalence problem, formulated by Henri Poincaré in 1907. The first part gives an account of Poincaré’s heuristic counting arguments, suggesting existence of infinitely many local CR invariants. Then we sketch the beautiful completion of Poincaré’s approach to the problem in the work of Chern and Moser on Levi nondegenerate hypersurfac...
