Quantitative nonlinear embeddings into Lebesgue sequence spaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper fundamental nonlinear geometries of Lebesgue sequence spaces are studied in their quantitative aspects. Applications of this work are a positive solution to the strong embeddability problem from ellq into ellp (0<p<qle1) and new insights on the coarse embedabbility problem from Lq into ellq, q>2. Relevant to geometric group theory purposes, the exact ellp-compressions of ell2 are computed. Finally coarse deformation of metric spaces with property A and locally compact amenable groups is investigated.


For a map \(f:(X,d_X)\to (Y,d_Y)\) between metric spaces let NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\rho_f(t)=\inf\{d_Y(f(x),f(y)) : d_X(x,y)\geq t\},NEWLINE\]NEWLINE and NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\omega_f(t)=\sup\{d_Y(f(x),f(y)) : d_X(x,y)\leq t\}.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE When \(X\) and \(Y\) are not uniformly discrete \(f\) is called a uniform embedding if \(\omega_f(t)\to 0\) when \(t\to 0\) and \(\rho_f(t)>0\) for all \(t>0\). If \(X\) and \(Y\) are unbounded, \(f\) is called a coarse embedding if \(\rho_f(t)\to \infty\) when \(t\to \infty\) and \(\omega_f(t)<\infty\) for all \(t>0\). A strong embedding is an embedding which is simultaneously coarse and uniform.NEWLINENEWLINEIn this paper these notions are quantified in terms of growth and relative growth of the functions \(\rho_f\) and \(\omega_f\). One of the main goals is to study the question: How good can an embedding be from \(X\) to \(Y\) be in the case where \(X\) and \(Y\) are some of the spaces \(L_p\), \(\ell_p\)? The author considers both the Banach space case \(p\geq 1\) and the quasi-Banach space case \(0<p<1\).NEWLINENEWLINEAt the end of the paper the author provides a table which summarizes the known results in this direction.NEWLINENEWLINEThe author uses related techniques for studying embeddability of locally compact amenable groups and spaces with Yu's property A.
