Abstract

We study global regularity properties of Sobolev homeomorphisms on nn-dimensional Riemannian manifolds under the assumption of pp-integrability of its first weak derivatives in degree pn1p\geq n-1. We prove that inverse homeomorphisms have integrable first weak derivatives. For the case p>np>n we obtain necessary conditions for existence of Sobolev homeomorphisms between manifolds. These necessary conditions based on Poincar\'e type inequality: infcRucL(M)KuL1(M). \inf_{c\in \mathbb R} \|u-c\mid L_{\infty}(M)\|\leq K \|u\mid L^1_{\infty}(M)\|. As a corollary we obtain the following geometrical necessary condition: {\em If there exists a Sobolev homeomorphisms ϕ:MM\phi: M \to M', ϕWp1(M,M)\phi\in W^1_p(M, M'), p>np>n, J(x,ϕ)0J(x,\phi)\ne 0 a. e. in MM, of compact smooth Riemannian manifold MM onto Riemannian manifold MM' then the manifold MM' has finite geodesic diameter.}}

In the first version, there was an inaccuracy in Theorem 4. In the revised version added additional assumptions
