Given a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold $N^n$, we investigate whether the set of bounded Sobolev maps $(W^{1, p} \cap L^\infty) (Q^m; N^n)$ on the cube $Q^m$ is strongly dense in the Sobolev space $W^{1, p} (Q^m; N^n)$ for $1 \le p…

We construct a family of non-parametric (infinite-dimensional) manifolds of finite measures on $R^d$. The manifolds are modelled on a variety of weighted Sobolev spaces, including Hilbert-Sobolev spaces and mixed-norm spaces. Each supports…

We consider the strong density problem in the Sobolev space $ W^{s,p}(Q^{m};\mathscr{N}) $ of maps with values into a compact Riemannian manifold $ \mathscr{N} $. It is known, from the seminal work of Bethuel, that such maps may always be…

It is common that a Sobolev space defined on $\mathbb{R}^m$ has a non-compact embedding into an $L^p$-space, but it has subspaces for which this embedding becomes compact. There are three well known cases of such subspaces, the Rellich…

We study the question: when are Lipschitz mappings dense in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(M,\mathbf{H}^n)$? Here $M$ denotes a compact Riemannian manifold with or without boundary, while $\mathbf{H}^n$ denotes the $n$th Heisenberg group…

Let $M$ be a smooth, compact, connected, oriented Riemannian manifold, and let $\imath: M \to \mathbb R^d$ be an isometric embedding. We show that a Sobolev map $f: M \to M$ which has the property that the differential $df(q)$ is close to…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, $L(M)$ be its frame bundle, $O(M)$ its orthonormal frame bundle. For a distribution $D$ on $M$ we define a subbundle $L(D)\subset L(M)$ or $O(D)\subset O(M)$ in a natural way. This allows us to consider…

We prove that a mapping $u \colon \mathcal{M}'\to \mathcal{N}$, where $\mathcal{M}'$ and $ \mathcal{N}$ are compact Riemannian manifolds, is the trace of a Sobolev mapping $U \colon \mathcal{M}' \times [0, 1) \to \mathcal{N}$ if and only if…

We define the notion of higher-order colocally weakly differentiable maps from a manifold $M$ to a manifold $N$. When $M$ and $N$ are endowed with Riemannian metrics, $p\ge 1$ and $k\ge 2$, this allows us to define the intrinsic…

In this article, we show some density properties of smooth and compactly supported functions in fractional Musielak-Sobolev spaces essentially extending the results of Fiscella, Servadei, and Valdinoci obtained in the fractional Sobolev…

This paper is a self-contained presentation of certain aspects of the theory of weighted Sobolev spaces and elliptic operators on non-compact Riemannian manifolds. Specifically, we discuss (i) the standard and weighted Sobolev Embedding…

In their seminal work, Cordero-Erausquin, Nazaret and Villani [Adv. Math., 2004] proved sharp Sobolev inequalities in Euclidean spaces via Optimal Mass Transportation, raising the question whether their approach is powerful enough to…

We define the notion of colocally weakly differentiable maps from a manifold $M$ to a manifold $N$. If $p \ge 1$ and $M$ and $N$ are endowed with a Riemannian metric, this allows us to define intrinsically the homogeneous Sobolev space…

We compute the precise value of the measure of noncompactness of Sobolev embeddings $W_0^{1,p}(D)\hookrightarrow L^p(D)$, $p\in(1,\infty)$, on strip-like domains $D$ of the form $\mathbb{R}^k\times\prod\limits_{i=1}^{n-k}(a_i,b_i)$. We show…

We study various covering spectra for complete noncompact length spaces with universal covers (including Riemannian manifolds and the pointed Gromov Hausdorff limits of Riemannian manifolds with lower bounds on their Ricci curvature). We…

The present paper presents a counterexample to the sequentially weak density of smooth maps between two manifolds $M$ and $N$ in the Sobolev space $W^{1, p} (M, N)$, in the case $p$ is an integer. It has been shown that, if $p<\dim M $ is…

In this paper, we study symmetry-improved fractional Sobolev embeddings on closed Riemannian manifolds under the action of compact isometry groups. We prove that \(G\)-invariant fractional Sobolev spaces embed into higher \(L^p\) spaces,…

We consider Sobolev maps from a planar domain into a closed Riemannian manifold and their BV liftings via a double covering of the target. We establish a sharp lower bound on the jump length of the lifting, expressed in terms of a geometric…

Cocompactness is a useful weaker counterpart of compactness in the study of imbeddings between function spaces. In this paper we show that subcritical continuous imbeddings of fractional Sobolev spaces and Besov spaces over \mathbb{R}^{N}…
