Abstract
Abstract We study the optimality of function spaces that appear in Sobolev embeddings. We focus on rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces. We apply methods of interpolation theory.
It is a great honor for me to contribute to this volume dedicated to the centenary of S.L. Sobolev, one of the greatest analysts of the XXth century. The paper concerns a topic belonging to an area bearing the name, called traditionally Sobolev inequalities or Sobolev embeddings. The focus will be on the sharpness or optimality of function spaces appearing in these embeddings. The results presented in this paper were established in recent years. Most of them were obtained in collaboration with Ron Kerman and Andrea Cianchi.
