A natural approach is: take a sequence with f n X = 1 and Tf n Y A and show that f n converges in X. Problem: many interesting operators arise from physics and have many symmetries. Non compact groups of symmetries are hard to fight.

30 The case of f n. Fix now 0 f n with f n p = 1 and T f n 4 T.

31 The case of f n. Fix now 0 f n with f n p = 1 and T f n 4 T. If f is the nonincreasing rearrangement of f then T f 4 T f 4.

32 The case of f n. Fix now 0 f n with f n p = 1 and T f n 4 T. If f is the nonincreasing rearrangement of f then T f 4 T f 4. Thus f n is a nonincreasing extremizing sequence.

33 The case of f n. Fix now 0 f n with f n p = 1 and T f n 4 T. If f is the nonincreasing rearrangement of f then T f 4 T f 4. Thus f n is a nonincreasing extremizing sequence. Using some refined weak form inequalities there exists a rescaling of fn (still called fn ) so that fn converges weakly to a non-zero function.

34 The case of f n. Fix now 0 f n with f n p = 1 and T f n 4 T. If f is the nonincreasing rearrangement of f then T f 4 T f 4. Thus f n is a nonincreasing extremizing sequence. Using some refined weak form inequalities there exists a rescaling of fn (still called fn ) so that fn converges weakly to a non-zero function. Using Lieb s lemma f n converges in L p.

35 What about f n?

36 What about f n? Rescale fn f n. so that it converges and use the same rescaling for

37 What about f n? Rescale fn f n. f n so that it converges and use the same rescaling for and f n have the same distribution function.

38 What about f n? Rescale fn f n. f n so that it converges and use the same rescaling for and f n have the same distribution function. Since f n converges there exists a set E n with f n 1 En and E n 1.

39 What about f n? Rescale fn f n. f n so that it converges and use the same rescaling for and f n have the same distribution function. Since f n converges there exists a set E n with f n 1 En and E n 1. So vanishing does not occur!

40 The set E n does not move away from 0.

41 The set E n does not move away from 0. Assume that E n has a large part F n with d(f n, 0).

42 The set E n does not move away from 0. Assume that E n has a large part F n with d(f n, 0). There are not so many planes that have a big intersection with F n.

43 The set E n does not move away from 0. Assume that E n has a large part F n with d(f n, 0). There are not so many planes that have a big intersection with F n. Hence T f n cannot be so big.

44 The set E n does not move away from 0. Assume that E n has a large part F n with d(f n, 0). There are not so many planes that have a big intersection with F n. Hence T f n cannot be so big. Then f n cannot be an extremizing sequence.

45 The set E n does not move away from 0. Assume that E n has a large part F n with d(f n, 0). There are not so many planes that have a big intersection with F n. Hence T f n cannot be so big. Then f n cannot be an extremizing sequence. Thus E n mainly remains close from 0.

46 f n converges weakly to a non-zero function.

47 f n converges weakly to a non-zero function. E n remains in a ball B(0, R).

48 f n converges weakly to a non-zero function. E n remains in a ball B(0, R). f n converges weakly to f. Can f be zero?

49 f n converges weakly to a non-zero function. E n remains in a ball B(0, R). f n converges weakly to f. Can f be zero? E n f n 1 B(0,R) f.

50 f n converges weakly to a non-zero function. E n remains in a ball B(0, R). f n converges weakly to f. Can f be zero? E n f n 1 B(0,R) f. Thus the weak limit of f n is non-zero.

51 f n does not blow up like a Dirac mass.

52 f n does not blow up like a Dirac mass. f n converge in L p.

53 f n does not blow up like a Dirac mass. f f n n converge in L p. and f n have the same distribution function.

54 f n does not blow up like a Dirac mass. f f n n converge in L p. and f n have the same distribution function. Hence we have. uniformly in R. 0 = lim R f fn R n p = lim R f n R f n p

55 f n does not blow up like a Dirac mass. f f n n converge in L p. and f n have the same distribution function. Hence we have. uniformly in R. 0 = lim R f fn R n p = lim R f n R Thus f n cannot blow up like a Dirac mass. f n p

59 Break. We ruled out vanishing. We proved that E n remains close from 0. Thus if tightness occurs then y n (the center of the ball) is 0. Blow-up like a Dirac mass cannot occur. Thus think about f n as somehow uniformly locally in L p.

60 Break. We ruled out vanishing. We proved that E n remains close from 0. Thus if tightness occurs then y n (the center of the ball) is 0. Blow-up like a Dirac mass cannot occur. Thus think about f n as somehow uniformly locally in L p. Usual process now: construct E 1 n, E 2 n,... where f n is concentrated. Instead we follow a concentration compactness argument.

62 Dichotomy

63 Dichotomy (dichotomy) There exist 0 < α < 1 and φ n φ 1 n, φ 2 n 0 with d(supp(φ 1 n), supp(φ 2 n)) and φ n φ 1 n φ 2 n 1 0, φ 1 n 1 α, φ 2 n 1 1 α.

64 Dichotomy (dichotomy) There exist 0 < α < 1 and φ n φ 1 n, φ 2 n 0 with d(supp(φ 1 n), supp(φ 2 n)) and φ n φ 1 n φ 2 n 1 0, φ 1 n 1 α, φ 2 n 1 1 α. Here φ n = f n p.

65 Dichotomy (dichotomy) There exist 0 < α < 1 and φ n φ 1 n, φ 2 n 0 with d(supp(φ 1 n), supp(φ 2 n)) and φ n φ 1 n φ 2 n 1 0, φ 1 n 1 α, φ 2 n 1 1 α. Here φ n = f n p. Assume dichotomy happens and write f n fn 1 + fn 2 with d(supp(fn 1 ), supp(fn 2 )) and f n p f 1 n p f 2 n p 1 0, f 1 n p α, f 2 n p 1 α.

66 Dichotomy (dichotomy) There exist 0 < α < 1 and φ n φ 1 n, φ 2 n 0 with d(supp(φ 1 n), supp(φ 2 n)) and φ n φ 1 n φ 2 n 1 0, φ 1 n 1 α, φ 2 n 1 1 α. Here φ n = f n p. Assume dichotomy happens and write f n fn 1 + fn 2 with d(supp(fn 1 ), supp(fn 2 )) and f n p f 1 n p f 2 n p 1 0, f 1 n p α, f 2 n p 1 α. We can assume the support of f 1 n remains close from 0.
