In particular, Maz'ya is a proiminent figure in the development of the theory of Sobolev spaces. He is the author of the well-known monograph Sobolev Spaces (Springer, 1985). The following topics are discussed in this volume: Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, weighted Sobolev spaces, Besov spaces with negative exponents, Dirichlet spaces and related variational capacities, classical inequalities, including Hardy inequalities (multidimensional versions, the case of fractional Sobolev spaces etc.), Hardy-Maz'ya-Sobolev inequalities, analogs of Maz'ya's isocapacitary inequalities in a measure-metric space setting, Hardy type, Sobolev, Poincare, and pseudo-Poincare inequalities in different contexts including Riemannian manifolds, measure-metric spaces, fractal domains etc., Mazya's capacitary analogue of the coarea inequality in metric probability spaces, sharp constants, extension operators, geometry of hypersurfaces in Carnot groups, Sobolev homeomorphisms, a converse to the Maz'ya inequality for capacities and applications of Maz'ya's capacity method.

Professor Maz'ya - one of the main developers of the modern theory of Sobolev spaces - contributed to the theory in many various directions. The strong influence of his fundamental works is traced in recent results presented in this volume from world-recognized specialists. The topics cover various aspects of the theory of function spaces, including Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, weighted Sobolev spaces, Dirichlet spaces, Besov Spaces with negative exponents, fractional Sobolev spaces on half-spaces and sharp constants in the Hardy inequality, Maz'ya's capacitary analogue of the co-area inequality adapted to the setting of metric probability spaces, Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequalities, converse of Maz'ya's inequality for capacities, Hersch's isoperimetric inequality, isoperimetric Hardy type and Poincare inequalities on metric spaces, isoperimetric problems in connection with Carnot groups, pseudo-Poincare inequalities and applications to Sobolev inequalities, Sobolev inequalities on fluctuating domains, Sobolev homeomorphisms and composition operators, extension domains for functions with bounded variation.
