Abstract:  

First-order Sobolev spaces have their norm defined in terms of weak derivative whereas fractional Sobolev spaces are endowed with the Gagliardo semi-norm controlling some integral of a differential quotient; this results in a qualitative jump at the endpoint. These two perspectives were reconciled through the introduction of a suitable corrective factor by Jean Bourgain, Haïm Brezis and Petru Mironescu have reconciled. In a recent work in collaboration with Haïm Brezis (Rutgers, Technion Haifa and Sorbonne) and Po-Lam Yung (Chinese University of Hong Kong and Australian National University), we are proving that Sobolev norms are equivalent to a Marcinkiewicz weak-type quantity associated to the Gagliardo seminorm. I will present how these estimates can be obtained through various tools of real analysis.
