Let $(\mathcal{X}, \rho, \mu)$ be a metric measure space of homogeneous type which supports a certain Poincar\'e inequality. Denote by the symbol $\mathcal{C}_{\mathrm{c}}^\ast(\mathcal{X})$ the space of all continuous functions $f$ with compact support satisfying that $\operatorname{Lip} f:=\limsup _{r \rightarrow 0} \sup_{y\in B(\cdot, r)} |f(\cdot)-f(y)|/r$ is also a continuous function with compact support and $\operatorname{Lip} f=\lim _{r \rightarrow 0} \sup_{y\in B(\cdot, r)} |f(\cdot)-f(y)|/r$ converges uniformly. Let $p \in[1,\infty)$. In this article, the authors prove that, for any $f\in\mathcal{C}_{\mathrm{c}}^\ast(\mathcal{X})$, \begin{align*} &\sup_{\lambda\in(0,\infty)}\lambda^p\int_{\mathcal{X}} \mu\left(\left\{y\in \mathcal{X}:\ |f(x)-f(y)|>\lambda \rho(x,y) [V(x,y)]^{\frac 1p}\right\}\right)\, d\mu(x)\\ &\quad\sim \int_{{\mathcal{X}}} [\operatorname{Lip}f(x)]^p \,d\mu(x) \end{align*} with the positive equivalence constants independent of $f$, where $V(x,y):=\mu(B(x,\rho(x,y)))$. This generalizes a recent surprising formula of H. Brezis, J. Van Schaftingen, and P.-L. Yung from the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^n$ to $\mathcal{X}$. Applying this generalization, the authors establish new fractional Sobolev and Gagliardo--Nirenberg inequalities in $\mathcal{X}$. All these results have a wide range of applications. Particularly, when applied to two concrete examples, namely, ${\mathbb R}^n$ with weighted Lebesgue measure and the complete $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature, all these results are new. The proofs of these results strongly depend on the geometrical relation of differences and derivatives in the metric measure space and the Poincar\'e inequality., Comment: 25 pages; Submitted. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2109.04638

Let $X$ be a ball Banach function space on ${\mathbb R}^n$. In this article, under some mild assumptions about both $X$ and the boundedness of the Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator on the associate space of the convexification of $X$, the authors prove that, for any locally integrable function $f$ with $\|\,|\nabla f|\,\|_{X}<\infty$, $$\sup_{\lambda\in(0,\infty)}\lambda\left \|\left|\left\{y\in{\mathbb R}^n:\ |f(\cdot)-f(y)| >\lambda|\cdot-y|^{\frac{n}{q}+1}\right\}\right|^{\frac{1}{q}} \right\|_X\sim \|\,|\nabla f|\,\|_X$$ with the positive equivalence constants independent of $f$, where the index $q\in(0,\infty)$ is related to $X$ and $|\{y\in{\mathbb R}^n:\ |f(\cdot)-f(y)| >\lambda|\cdot-y|^{\frac{n}{q}+1}\}|$ is the Lebesgue measure of the set under consideration. In particular, when $X:=L^p({\mathbb R}^n)$ with $p\in [1,\infty)$, the above formulae hold true for any given $q\in (0,\infty)$ with $n(\frac{1}{p}-\frac{1}{q})<1$, which when $q=p$ are exactly the recent surprising formulae of H. Brezis, J. Van Schaftingen, and P.-L. Yung, and which in other cases are new. This generalization has a wide range of applications and, particularly, enables the authors to establish new fractional Sobolev and new Gagliardo--Nirenberg inequalities in various function spaces, including Morrey spaces, mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces, variable Lebesgue spaces, weighted Lebesgue spaces, Orlicz spaces, and Orlicz-slice (generalized amalgam) spaces, and, even in all these special cases, the obtained results are new. The proofs of these results strongly depend on the Poincar\'e inequality, the extrapolation, the exact operator norm on $X'$ of the Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator, and the exquisite geometry of $\mathbb{R}^n.$, Comment: 68 pages, Submitted

Let $p\in[1,\infty]$, $q\in[1,\infty)$, $s\in\mathbb{Z}_+:=\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}$, and $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. In this article, the authors first find a reasonable version $\widetilde{I}_{\beta}$ of the (generalized) fractional integral $I_{\beta}$ on the special John--Nirenberg--Campanato space via congruent cubes, $JN_{(p,q,s)_\alpha}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, which coincides with the Campanato space $\mathcal{C}_{\alpha,q,s}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ when $p=\infty$. To this end, the authors introduce the vanishing moments up to order $s$ of $I_{\beta}$. Then the authors prove that $\widetilde{I}_{\beta}$ is bounded from $JN_{(p,q,s)_\alpha}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ to $JN_{(p,q,s)_{\alpha+\beta/n}}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ if and only if $I_{\beta}$ has the vanishing moments up to order $s$. The obtained result is new even when $p=\infty$ and $s\in\mathbb{N}$. Moreover, the authors show that $I_{\beta}$ can be extended to a unique continuous linear operator from the Hardy-kind space $HK_{(p,q,s)_{\alpha+\beta/n}}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, the predual of $JN_{(p',q',s)_{\alpha+\beta/n}}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{p'}=1=\frac{1}{q}+\frac{1}{q'}$, to $HK_{(p,q,s)_{\alpha}}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ if and only if $I_{\beta}$ has the vanishing moments up to order $s$. The proof of the latter boundedness strongly depends on the dual relation $(HK_{(p,q,s)_{\alpha}}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n))^* =JN_{(p',q',s)_\alpha}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, the properties of molecules of $HK_{(p,q,s)_\alpha}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, and a crucial criterion for the boundedness of linear operators on $HK_{(p,q,s)_\alpha}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$., Comment: 38 pages; Front.

Let $X$ be a ball quasi-Banach function space on ${\mathbb R}^n$ and assume that the Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator satisfies the Fefferman--Stein vector-valued maximal inequality on $X$, and let $q\in[1,\infty)$ and $d\in(0,\infty)$. In this article, the authors prove that, for any $f\in \mathcal{L}_{X,q,0,d}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ (the ball Campanato-type function space associated with $X$), the Littlewood--Paley $g$-function $g(f)$ is either infinite everywhere or finite almost everywhere and, in the latter case, $g(f)$ is bounded on $\mathcal{L}_{X,q,0,d}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. Similar results for both the Lusin-area function and the Littlewood--Paley $g_\lambda^*$-function are also obtained. All these results have a wide range of applications. Particularly, even when $X$ is the weighted Lebesgue space, or the mixed-norm Lebesgue space, or the variable Lebesgue space, or the Orlicz space, or the Orlicz-slice space, all these results are new. The proofs of all these results strongly depend on several delicate estimates of Littlewood--Paley operators on the mean oscillation of the locally integrable function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Moreover, the same ideas are also used to obtain the corresponding results for the special John--Nirenberg--Campanato space via congruent cubes., Comment: 46 pages; Submitted

Let $p\in[1,\infty]$, $q\in(1,\infty)$, $s\in\mathbb{Z}_+:=\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}$, and $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. In this article, the authors introduce a reasonable version $\widetilde T$ of the Calder\'on--Zygmund operator $T$ on $JN_{(p,q,s)_\alpha}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, the special John--Nirenberg--Campanato space via congruent cubes, which coincides with the Campanato space $\mathcal{C}_{\alpha,q,s}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ when $p=\infty$. Then the authors prove that $\widetilde T$ is bounded on $JN_{(p,q,s)_\alpha}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ if and only if, for any $\gamma\in\mathbb{Z}_+^n$ with $|\gamma|\leq s$, $T^*(x^{\gamma})=0$, which is a well-known assumption. To this end, the authors find an equivalent version of this assumption. Moreover, the authors show that $T$ can be extended to a unique continuous linear operator on the Hardy-kind space $HK_{(p,q,s)_{\alpha}}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, the predual space of $JN_{(p',q',s)_\alpha}^{\mathrm{con}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{p'}=1=\frac{1}{q}+\frac{1}{q'}$, if and only if, for any $\gamma\in\mathbb{Z}_+^n$ with $|\gamma|\leq s$, $T^*(x^{\gamma})=0$., Comment: 47 pages; Submitted
