Imbedding Theorems for Functions on Rn with Lq Laplacians



March 4, 2011
3-4 PM, 646 PGH


Abstract

This talk will describe results about the Lp properties of functions that are solutions of Laplace's equation in Rn - especially R3. The interest is in describing these properties for electrostatic or gravitational fields. For these fields the important constraint is that the fields have finite energy - or that their gradient be in L2 and that the scalar potential of the field vanish at infinity. The Sobolev imbedding theorem in this case says that the potentials of finite energy fields on R3 are precisely in L6(R3). I shall show that when Lq assumptions on the Laplacian of the function are added then there are a range of new imbedding results. In particular the fields will be continuous and bounded under some natural assumptions. Moreover the Hilbert space case involves a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert space with potential functions that need not be in L2(R3).
