Let [Formula: see text] be a separable Banach space endowed with a nondegenerate centered Gaussian measure [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be a positive function on [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for some [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we introduce and study Sobolev spaces with respect to the weighted Gaussian measure [Formula: see text]. We obtain results regarding the divergence operator (i.e. the adjoint in [Formula: see text] of the gradient operator along the Cameron–Martin space) and the trace of Sobolev functions on hypersurfaces [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a suitable version of a Sobolev function.

This chapter presents a selection of some of the most important results in the theory of Sobolev spacesn. Special emphasis is placed on embedding theorems and the question as to whether an embedding map is compact or not. Some results concerning the k-set contraction nature of certain embedding maps are given, for both bounded and unbounded space domains: also the approximation numbers of embedding maps are estimated and these estimates used to classify the embeddings.
