Abstract

Given nNn \in \mathbb{N}_*, a compact Riemannian manifold MM and a Sobolev map uWn/(n+1),n+1(Sn;M)u \in W^{n/(n + 1), n + 1} (\mathbb{S}^n; M), we construct a map UU in the Sobolev-Marcinkiewicz (or Lorentz-Sobolev) space W1,(n+1,)(Bn+1;M)W^{1, (n + 1, \infty)} (\mathbb{B}^{n + 1}; M) such that u=Uu = U in the sense of traces on Sn=Bn+1\mathbb{S}^{n} = \partial \mathbb{B}^{n + 1} and whose derivative is controlled: for every λ>0\lambda > 0, λn+1{xBn+1:DU(x)>λ}γ(SnSnu(y)u(z)n+1yz2ndydz) , \lambda^{n + 1} \big\vert\big\{ x \in \mathbb{B}^{n + 1} : \vert D U (x)\vert > \lambda\big\}\big\vert \le \gamma \Big(\int_{\mathbb{S}^n}\int_{\mathbb{S}^n} \frac{\vert u (y) - u (z)\vert^{n + 1}}{\vert y - z\vert^{2 n}} \,\mathrm{d} y \,\mathrm{d} z \Bigr)\ , where the function γ:[0,)[0,)\gamma : [0, \infty) \to [0, \infty) only depends on the dimension nn and on the manifold MM. The construction of the map UU relies on a smoothing process by hyperharmonic extension and radial extensions on a suitable covering by balls.
