We study quantitative stability results for different classes of Sobolev inequalities on general compact Riemannian manifolds. We prove that, up to constants depending on the manifold, a function that nearly saturates a critical Sobolev…
We prove a general criterion for the density in energy of suitable subalgebras of Lipschitz functions in the metric-Sobolev space $H^{1,p}(X,\mathsf{d},\mathfrak{m})$ associated with a positive and finite Borel measure $\mathfrak{m}$ in a…
For any integer $ p \geq 2 $, we construct a compact Riemannian manifold $ \mathcal{N} $ such that if $ \dim \mathcal{M} > p $, there is a map in the Sobolev space of mappings $ W^{1,p} (\mathcal{M}, \mathcal{N})$ which is not a weak limit…
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 define abstract Sobolev type spaces on $\mathsf{L}^p$-scales, $p\in [1,\infty)$, on Hermitian vector bundles over possibly noncompact manifolds, which are induced by smooth measures and families $\mathfrak{P}$ of linear partial…
In 1924 S.Bernstein asked for conditions on a uniformly bounded on $\mathbb{R}$ Borel function (weight) $w: \mathbb{R} \to [0, +\infty )$ which imply the denseness of algebraic polynomials ${\mathcal{P} }$ in the seminormed space $…
We show that the algebra of cylinder functions in the Wasserstein Sobolev space $H^{1,q}(\mathcal{P}_p(X,\mathsf{d}), W_{p, \mathsf{d}}, \mathfrak{m})$ generated by a finite and positive Borel measure $\mathfrak{m}$ on the…
The paper deals with a nontrivial density result for $C^m(\overline{\Omega})$ functions, with $m\in{\mathbb N}\cup\{\infty\}$, in the space $$W^{k,\ell,p}(\Omega;\Gamma)= \left\{u\in W^{k,p}(\Omega): u_{|\Gamma}\in…
We provide a new, short proof of the density in energy of Lipschitz functions into the metric Sobolev space defined by using plans with barycenter (and thus, a fortiori, into the Newtonian-Sobolev space). Our result covers first-order…
Let $S \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ be an arbitrary nonempty compact set such that the $d$-Hausdorff content $\mathcal{H}^{d}_{\infty}(S) > 0$ for some $d \in (0,n]$. For each $p \in (\max\{1,n-d\},n]$, an almost sharp intrinsic description of…
Given a compact Riemannian manifold with density $M$ without boundary and the real line $\mathbb{R}$ with constant density, we prove that isoperimetric regions of large volume in $M\times\mathbb{R}$ with the product density are slabs of the…
We show that capacity can be computed with locally Lipschitz functions in locally complete and separable metric spaces. Further, we show that if $(X,d,\mu)$ is a locally complete and separable metric measure space, then continuous functions…
Let $ m, n $ be integers such that $ \frac{n}{2} > m \geq 1 $ and let $ (M, g) $ be a closed $ n-$dimensional Riemannian manifold. We prove there exists some $ B \in \mathbb{R} $ depending only on $ (M, g) $, $ m $, and $ n $ such that for…
We show that the spaces of closed finite gap curves in ${\mathbb R}^3$ and ${\mathbb S}^3$ are dense with respect to the Sobolev $W^{2,2}$-norm in the spaces of closed curves in ${\mathbb R}^3$ respectively ${\mathbb S}^3$.
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 identify all the weak sequential limits of smooth maps in $W^{1,2}(M,N)$. In particular, this implies a necessary and sufficient topological condition for smooth maps to be weakly sequentially dense in $W^{1,2}(M,N)$.
We revisit the questions of density of smooth functions, and differential forms, in Sobolev spaces on Riemannian manifolds. We carefully show equivalence of weak covariant derivatives to weak partial derivatives.
In this work, we aim to prove algebra properties for generalized Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p} \cap L^\infty$ on a Riemannian manifold, where $W^{s,p}$ is of Bessel-type $W^{s,p}:=(1+L)^{-s/m}(L^p)$ with an operator $L$ generating a heat…
Let $(M, g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 3$, and let $h \in C^1(M)$ be such that the operator $\Delta_g + h$ is coercive. Fix $x_0 \in M$ and $s \in (0, 2)$. We obtain uniform bounds on the solutions of the critical…
In this paper, we introduce a new energy density function $\mathscr Y$ on the projective bundle $\mathbb{P}(T_M)\>M$ for a smooth map $f:(M,h)\>(N,g)$ between Riemannian manifolds $$\mathscr Y=g_{ij}f^i_\alpha f^j_\beta \frac{W^\alpha…
