Abstract

For a general open set, we characterize the compactness of the embedding for the homogeneous Sobolev space D1,p → Lq in 0 terms of the summability of its torsion function. In particular, for 1 ≤ q < p we obtain that the embedding is continuous if and only if it is compact. The proofs crucially exploit a torsional Hardy inequality that we investigate in detail.
