Riassunto

The subject of this book is the interplay between function space theory and potential theory. The theory has reached a state of maturity and elegance by now that makes it natural to present it in book form. The book is accessible to graduate students with a good background in real analysis. No previous knowlegde of potential theory is assumed.
