Extension of Sobolev functions on balls in infinite dimensions

Abstract

We prove the existence of a bounded Sobolev extension operator $E:W^{p,1}\left( B,P \right) \rightarrow W^{p,1}\left( \ell^{2} ,P \right)$ using a completely new method, where $B\subset \ell^{2}$ is the unit ball and $P$ is any non-trivial centered Gaussian measure on $\ell^{2}$. This solves an open problem posed in the literatures.
