The Choquet and Kellogg properties for the fine topology when $p=1$ in metric spaces

In the setting of a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar´e inequality, we prove the fine Kellogg property, the quasi-Lindel¨of principle, and the Choquet property for the fine topology in the case p = 1. Dans un contexte d’espace m´etrique complet muni d’une mesure doublante et supportant une in´egalit´e de Poincar´e, nous d´emontrons la propri´et´e fine de Kellogg, le quasi-principe de Lindel¨of, et la propri´et´e de Choquet pour la topologie fine dans le cas p = 1. peerReviewed

A new Cartan-type property and strict quasicoverings when p = 1 in metric spaces

In a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality, we prove a new Cartan-type property for the fine topology in the case $p=1$. Then we use this property to prove the existence of $1$-finely open \emph{strict subsets} and \emph{strict quasicoverings} of $1$-finely open sets. As an application, we study fine Newton-Sobolev spaces in the case $p=1$, that is, Newton-Sobolev spaces defined on $1$-finely open sets.

Notions of Dirichlet problem for functions of least gradient in metric measure spaces

We study two notions of Dirichlet problem associated with BV energy minimizers (also called functions of least gradient) in bounded domains in metric measure spaces whose measure is doubling and supports a (1, 1)-Poincaré inequality. Since one of the two notions is not amenable to the direct method of the calculus of variations, we construct, based on an approach of Juutinen and Mazón-Rossi–De León, solutions by considering the Dirichlet problem for p-harmonic functions, p>1, and letting p→1. Tools developed and used in this paper include the inner perimeter measure of a domain. Peer reviewed
