Maximal degenerate representations of SL.
On the domain S_a = {(x,e^b): x ∈ N, b ∈ ℝ, b > a} where N is a simply connected nilpotent Lie group, a certain N-left-invariant, second order, degenerate elliptic operator L is considered. N × {e^a} is the Poisson boundary for L-harmonic functions F, i.e. F is the Poisson integral F(xe^b) = ʃ_N f(xy)dμ^b_a(x), for an f in L^∞(N). The main theorem of the paper asserts that the maximal function M^a f(x) = sup{|ʃf(xy)dμ_a^b(y)| : b > a} is of weak type (1,1).
Let be an -algebraic semisimple group, an algebraic -subgroup, and a lattice in . Partially answering a question posed by Hillel Furstenberg in 1972, we prove that if the action of on is minimal, then it is uniquely ergodic. Our proof uses in an essential way Marina Ratner’s classification of probability measures on invariant under unipotent elements, and the study of “tubes” in .
We prove several optimal Moser–Trudinger and logarithmic Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev inequalities for systems in two dimensions. These include inequalities on the sphere , on a bounded domain and on all of . In some cases we also address the question of existence of minimizers.
This paper studies a possible definition of Sobolev spaces in abstract metric spaces, and answers in the affirmative the question whether this definition yields a Banach space. The paper also explores the relationship between this definition and the Hajlasz spaces. For specialized metric spaces the Sobolev embedding theorems are proven. Different versions of capacities are also explored, and these various definitions are compared. The main tool used in this paper is the concept of moduli of path...
We obtain upper and lower estimates for the Green function for a second order noncoercive differential operator on a homogeneous manifold of negative curvature.
Let L be a positive Rockland operator of homogeneous degree d on a graded homogeneous group G and let be the convolution kernels of the semigroup generated by L. We prove that if τ(x) is a Riemannian distance of x from the unit element, then there are constants c>0 and C such that . Moreover, if G is not stratified, more precise estimates of at infinity are given.
Dans cet article, en utilisant les algèbres de Jordan euclidiennes, nous étudions l’espace de Hardy d’un espace symétrique de type Cayley . Nous montrons que le noyau de Cauchy-Szegö de s’exprime comme somme d’une série faisant intervenir la fonction de Harish-Chandra de l’espace symétrique riemannien , la fonction de l’espace symétrique -dual de et les fonctions sphériques de l’espace symétrique ordonné . Nous établissons, dans le cas où la dimension de l’algèbre de Jordan associée...
