Download or read book Non-Doubling Ahlfors Measures, Perimeter Measures, and the Characterization of the Trace Spaces of Sobolev Functions in Carnot-Caratheodory Spaces written by Donatella Danielli and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of the present study is to characterize the traces of the Sobolev functions in a sub-Riemannian, or Carnot-Caratheodory space. Such traces are defined in terms of suitable Besov spaces with respect to a measure which is concentrated on a lower dimensional manifold, and which satisfies an Ahlfors type condition with respect to the standard Lebesgue measure. We also study the extension problem for the relevant Besov spaces. Various concrete applications to the setting of Carnot groups are analyzed in detail and an application to the solvability of the subelliptic Neumann problem is presented.
