A minimal regular ring extension of C(X)

M. Henriksen, R. Raphael, R. G. Woods (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let G(X) denote the smallest (von Neumann) regular ring of real-valued functions with domain X that contains C(X), the ring of continuous real-valued functions on a Tikhonov topological space (X,τ). We investigate when G(X) coincides with the ring C ( X , τ δ ) of continuous real-valued functions on the space ( X , τ δ ) , where τ δ is the smallest Tikhonov topology on X for which τ τ δ and C ( X , τ δ ) is von Neumann regular. The compact and metric spaces for which G ( X ) = C ( X , τ δ ) are characterized. Necessary, and different sufficient, conditions...

A new characterization of the Sobolev space

Piotr Hajłasz (2003)

Studia Mathematica

The purpose of this paper is to provide a new characterization of the Sobolev space W 1 , 1 ( ) . We also show a new proof of the characterization of the Sobolev space W 1 , p ( ) , 1 ≤ p < ∞, in terms of Poincaré inequalities.

A new convexity property that implies a fixed point property for L 1

Chris Lennard (1991)

Studia Mathematica

In this paper we prove a new convexity property for L₁ that resembles uniform convexity. We then develop a general theory that leads from the convexity property through normal structure to a fixed point property, via a theorem of Kirk. Applying this theory to L₁, we get the following type of normal structure: any convex subset of L₁ of positive diameter that is compact for the topology of convergence locally in measure, must have a radius that is smaller than its diameter. Indeed, a stronger result...

A new function space and applications

Jean Bourgain, Haïm Brezis, Petru Mironescu (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We define a new function space B , which contains in particular BMO, BV, and W 1 / p , p , 1 < p < . We investigate its embedding into Lebesgue and Marcinkiewicz spaces. We present several inequalities involving L p norms of integer-valued functions in B . We introduce a significant closed subspace, B 0 , of B , containing in particular VMO and W 1 / p , p , 1 p < . The above mentioned estimates imply in particular that integer-valued functions belonging to B 0 are necessarily constant. This framework provides a “common roof” to various,...
