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).
