We show that the algebra of cylinder functions in the Wasserstein Sobolev space H^{1,q}(mathcal {P}_p(X,textsf{d}), W_{p, textsf{d}}, mathfrak {m}) generated by a finite and positive Borel measure mathfrak {m} on the (p,textsf{d})-Wasserstein space (mathcal {P}_p(X, textsf{d}), W_{p, textsf{d}}) on a complete and separable metric space (X,textsf{d}) is dense in energy. As an application, we prove that, in case the underlying metric space is a separable Banach space mathbb {B}, then the Wasserstein Sobolev space is reflexive (resp. uniformly convex) if mathbb {B} is reflexive (resp. if the dual of mathbb {B} is uniformly convex). Finally, we also provide sufficient conditions for the validity of Clarkson’s type inequalities in the Wasserstein Sobolev space.
