Functional inequalities on simple edge spaces (Q2207474)

In this article classical functional inequalities are proved for a simple edge space. Let \(X\) be a compact stratified pseudomanifold with an iterated edge metric. Firstly, under some hypothesis on \(X\), the author proves the existence of a sequence of \((k,p)\)-cut-off functions in \(X\), where \(k\) is the degree of ``smoothness'' and \(p\in [1,\infty)\) is related to the \(p\)-norm. Then the study is specialized for \(X\) being simple edge spaces, i.e., a compact stratified pseudomanifold with depth \(1\). In this situation, the author proves the following Sobolev inequality for \(p\in [1,m)\), \[ \|u\|_{\frac{mp}{m-p}}\leq A \cdot \left(\int_X |\nabla u|^p \ dv \right)^{\frac{1}{p}} + B \cdot \left(\int_X |u|^p\ dv\right)^{\frac{1}{p}}, \] where \(m = \dim X\), \(A,B>0\) are constants. Moreover, using the \((k,p)\)-cut-off functions, it is proved that if \(p\in [1,m-\dim(Y)]\) for every singular stratum \(Y\) of \(X\), then \[ \|u\|_{\frac{mp}{m-p}}\leq A \cdot \left(\int_X |\nabla u|^p \ dv \right)^{\frac{1}{p}} + \mathrm{vol}(X)^{-\frac{1}{m}} \cdot \left(\int_X |u|^p\ dv\right)^{\frac{1}{p}}, \] and the constant \(\mathrm{vol}(X)^{-\frac{1}{m}} \) is optimal. Besides that, a Hardy inequality, the Rellich embedding and the Poincaré inequality are presented
