Abstract:
The paper studies energy functionals on quasimetric spaces,
defined by quadratic measure-valued Lagrangeans.
This general model of medium, known as metric fractals,
includes nested fractals and sub-Riemannian manifolds.
In particular, the quadratic form of the Lagrangean satisfies
Sobolev inequalities with the critical exponent determined
by the (quasimetric) homogeneous dimension, which is also
involved in the asymptotic distribution of the form's eigenvalues.
This paper verifies that the axioms of the metric fractal are
preserved by space products, leading thus to examples of
non-differentiable media of arbitrary intrinsic dimension.
