Abstract

We prove a Poincar\'e, and a general Sobolev type inequalities for functions with compact support defined on a kk-rectifiable varifold VV defined on a complete Riemannian manifold with positive injectivity radius and sectional curvature bounded above. Our techniques allow us to consider Riemannian manifolds (Mn,g)(M^n,g) with gg of class C2C^2 or more regular, avoiding the use of Nash's isometric embedding theorem. Our analysis permits to do some quite important fragments of geometric measure theory also for those Riemannian manifolds carrying a C2C^2 metric gg, that is not Ck+αC^{k+\alpha} with k+α>2k+\alpha>2. The class of varifolds we consider are those which first variation δV\delta V lies in an appropriate Lebesgue space LpL^p with respect to its weight measure V\|V\| with the exponent pRp\in\mathbb{R} satisfying p>kp>k.
