Volumes of unit balls of Lorentz spaces
Doležalová, Anna ; Vybíral, Jan (advisor)
This thesis studies the volume of the unit ball of finite-dimensional Lorentz sequence spaces p,q n . Lorentz spaces are a generalisation of Lebesgue spaces with a quasinorm described by two parameters 0 < p, q ≤ ∞. The volume of the unit ball Bp,q n of a general finite-dimensional Lorentz space was so far an unknown quantity, even though for the Lebesgue spaces it has been well-known for many years. We present the explicit formula for Vol(Bp,∞ n ) and Vol(Bp,1 n ). We also describe the asymptotic behaviour of the n-th root of Vol(Bp,q n ) with respect to the dimension n and show that [Vol(Bp,q n )]1/n ≈ n−1/p for all 0 < p < ∞, 0 < q ≤ ∞. Furthermore, we study the ratio of Vol(Bp,∞ n ) and Vol(Bp n). We conclude by examining the decay of entropy numbers of embeddings of the Lorentz spaces.
