Characterising Sobolev inequalities by controlled coarse homology and applications for hyperbolic spaces

Abstract

We give a Sobolev inequality characterisation for the vanishing of the fundamental class in the controlled coarse homology of Nowak and Špakula for quasiconvex uniform spaces that support a local weak (1, 1)-Poincaré inequality. Among the applications, we consider visual Gromov hyperbolic spaces.
