Restrictions of Sobolev $W_{p}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{2})$-spaces to planar rectifiable curves (2010.05286v3)

Abstract: We construct explicit examples of Frostman-type measures concentrated on arbitrary planar rectifiable curves of positive length. Based on such constructions we obtain for each $p \in (1,\infty)$ an exact description of the trace space of the first-order Sobolev space $W^{1}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{2})$ to an arbitrary planar rectifiable curve $\Gamma \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ of positive length.
