The A-infinity weighted Sobolev conjecture

Let n>1n>1, let ww be a weight in A\textup{A}_\infty, and let W1\mathcal W_1 denote the class of weights for which the endpoint weighted Sobolev inequality holds for every uLipc(Rn)u\in\operatorname{Lip}_c(\mathbb R^n):

uLnn1(w)CuL1(w11n).\|u\|_{\textup{L}^{\frac{n}{n-1}}(w)}\leq C\|\nabla u\|_{\textup{L}^1(w^{1-\frac1n})}.

The A\textup{A}_\infty weighted Sobolev conjecture. One has

AW1,\textup{A}_\infty\subseteq\mathcal W_1,

that is, every wAw\in\textup{A}_\infty satisfies the endpoint weighted Sobolev inequality. The preceding theorem shows that the endpoint case implies the corresponding inequalities for 1<p<n1<p<n; the asserted inclusion of all A\textup{A}_\infty weights in W1\mathcal W_1 remains conjectural in the source.
