Abstract

Under small-ball bounds for the Malliavin determinants of two $\mathbb R^k$-valued Sobolev mappings on a Gaussian space, we estimate the total variation distance between their laws both in terms of the Kantorovich--Rubinstein distance and in terms of the distance between the mappings in the corresponding Sobolev space. In particular, our results yield new total variation distance estimates for distributions of random vectors whose components belong to finite sums of Wiener chaoses, with exponents improved by an asymptotic factor of two. The proof is based on fractional regularity estimates for distributions of Sobolev mappings. Namely, we show that if an $\mathbb R^k$-valued mapping has components in $W^{2,p}(\gamma)$ and the determinant of the corresponding Malliavin matrix satisfies a small-ball bound of order $\varkappa\in(0,1]$, then the law of the mapping has fractional regularity of order \[ \frac{\varkappa}{1+(2k-1)\varkappa p^{-1}}. \] In particular, for large $p$, this gives regularity of order $\varkappa$ up to an $O(p^{-1})$ loss.

Optimal Sobolev Rate for Gaussian Density Approximation of Wiener Chaos Vectors

Let $(F_n)$ be a sequence of random vectors with identity covariance matrix whose components belong to the same fixed Wiener chaos, and assume that $F_n$ converges in law to a standard Gaussian vector. We prove that, for every integer $m\geq0$ and every $p\in[1,\infty]$, the optimal rate of convergence of the densities...

Weak-type characterizations of Sobolev and bounded variation spaces on metric measure spaces

Given a complete doubling metric measure space $(X,\rho,\mu)$ supporting a Poincar\'e inequality, we prove weak-type characterizations of the Sobolev space $\dot{W}^{1,p}(\mu)$ and the space of functions of bounded variation, achieving a full analogy in general Poincar\'e spaces with the Euclidean results of Brezis et...

Sobolev mixing constants and compactness in rational moduli space

We study uniformity of Sobolev mixing estimates for rational maps and uniformly quasiregular mappings. For rational maps of fixed degree, the optimal centered Sobolev trace constant $A_f$ is a continuous proper function on M\"obius moduli space. Uniform bounds on $A_f$ therefore characterize relative compactness in mod...

On the equivalence of Sobolev norms in infinite dimensions

We prove dimension-free higher-order Sobolev norm estimates on open convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to Gaussian measure and use them to obtain norm equivalence on nonempty open convex subsets of $\ell^2$ endowed with a nondegenerate Gaussian measure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such eq...

Dimension-free estimates for full discrete maximal functions associated with Euclidean balls and spheres

We prove that the full discrete Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator associated with Euclidean balls satisfies dimension-free bounds on $\ell^p(\mathbb Z^d)$ for every $1<p<\infty$. We also establish analogous dimension-free bounds for the full discrete spherical maximal operator when $d\geq 5$ and $2\leq p<\infty$. The m...

Two Regularity Problems on Analytic Tent Spaces

We study two regularity problems on Hardy-type analytic tent spaces $\mathcal{AT}^p_{q,\alpha}$ on the unit disk: fractional integration and randomization of Taylor coefficients. For fractional integration, we characterize completely the boundedness and compactness of the Hadamard, Flett, and Riemann--Liouville operato...
