Sobolev-Kantorovich inequalities (Q2515757)

The author summarizes the contents of this paper in the abstract and introduction of the paper as follows: In a recent work, \textit{E. Cinti} and \textit{F. Otto} [``Interpolation inequalities in pattern formation'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1509.01189}] established a number of new interpolation inequalities which arise in the analysis of pattern formation in physics (more precisely in the study of branching in superconductors), bounding the \(L^r(\mu)\)-norm of a probability density with respect to the reference measure \(\mu\) by its Sobolev norm and the Kantorovich-Wasserstein distance to \(\mu\). This article emphasizes this family of interpolation inequalities, called Sobolev-Kantorovich inequalities, which may be established in the rather large setting of non-negatively curved (weighted) Riemannian manifolds by means of heat flows and Harnack inequalities.
