N2 - It is known that functions in a Sobolev space with critical exponent embed into the space of functions of bounded mean oscillation, and therefore satisfy the John-Nirenberg inequality and a corresponding exponential integrability estimate. While these inequalities are optimal for general functions of bounded mean oscillation, the main result of this paper is an improvement for functions in a class of critical Sobolev spaces. Precisely, we prove the inequality H∞β ({x ∈ Ω: |Iαf(x)| > t}) ≤ Ce−ctq for all ||f||LN/α,q(Ω) ≤ 1 and any β ∈ (0, N], where Ω ⊂ RN, H∞β is the Hausdorff content, LN/α,q(Ω) is a Lorentz space with q ∈ (1, ∞], q' = q/(q − 1) is the Hölder conjugate to q, and Iαf denotes the Riesz potential of f of order α ∈ (0, N).
