Let Xn, n ∈ N be a sequence of non-empty sets, ψn : Xn2 → IR+. We consider the relation E = E((Xn, ψn)n∈N) on ∏n∈N Xn by (x, y) ∈ E((Xn, ψn)n∈N) <=>Σn∈Nψn(x(n), y(n)) < +∞.

If E is an equiv- alence relation and all ψn, n ∈ N, are Borel, we show a trichotomy that either IRN/e1≤B E, E1≤B E, or E≤B E0. We also prove that, for a rather general case, E((Xn, ψn)n∈N) is an equivalence relation iff it is an ep-like equivalence relation.展开更多

The spacetime is asymptotically flat, freefrom curvature singularities and a four-dimensional extension of the Misner space in curved spacetime. The spacetime is of type Ⅱ in the Petrov classification scheme and the matter field pure radiation satisfy the energy condition.展开更多

In dimension two this inequality plays a role similar to that of the Sobolev inequality in higher dimensions. After justifying this statement by recovering the Onofri inequality through various limiting procedures and after reviewing some known results, the authors state several elementary remarks.Various new results are also proved in this paper. A proof of the inequality is given by using mass transportation methods(in the radial case), consistently with similar results for Sobolev inequalities. The authors investigate how duality can be used to improve the Onofri inequality, in connection with the logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality.In the framework of fast diffusion equations, it is established that the inequality is an entropy-entropy production inequality, which provides an integral remainder term. Finally,a proof of the inequality based on rigidity methods is given and a related nonlinear flow is introduced.展开更多
