An approach to metric space-valued Sobolev maps via weak* derivatives

P Creutz, N Evseev - Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2024 - degruyter.com
We give a characterization of metric space-valued Sobolev maps in terms of weak*
derivatives. More precisely, we show that Sobolev maps with values in dual-to-separable …

The branch set of minimal disks in metric spaces

P Creutz, M Romney - International Mathematics Research …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We study the structure of the branch set of solutions to Plateau's problem in metric spaces
satisfying a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. In our 1st result, we give examples of spaces …

Escape from compact sets of normal curves in subfinsler Carnot groups

E Le Donne, N Paddeu - ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus …, 2024 - esaim-cocv.org
In the setting of subFinsler Carnot groups, we consider curves that satisfy the normal
equation coming from the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. We show that, unless it is …

Weak differentiability of metric space valued Sobolev maps

P Creutz, N Evseev - arXiv preprint arXiv:2303.17303, 2023 - arxiv.org
We show that Sobolev maps with values in a dual Banach space can be characterized in
terms of weak derivatives in a weak* sense. Since every metric space embeds isometrically …

Strong shortcuts, generating sets, and isometric circles in asymptotic cones

N Hoda, T Riley - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.21482, 2024 - arxiv.org
We show that whether loops can be shortcut in a group's Cayley graph depends on the
choice of finite generating set. Our example is the direct product of two rank-2 free groups …
