We review the current state of the art concerning the characterization of traces of the spaces $W^{1, p} (\mathbb{B}^{m-1}\times (0,1), \mathcal{N})$ of Sobolev mappings with values into a compact manifold $\mathcal{N}$. In particular, we…

Given a smooth, complete Riemannian manifold $M$ with bounded Ricci curvature and positive injectivity radius, we derive a sharp Sobolev inequality for the embedding of $W^{1,p}(M)$ into $L^{\frac{np}{n-p}}(M)$, when $1\le p< n$. We will…

We develop a general method to calculate entropy numbers of standard Sobolev's classes on an arbitrary compact homogeneous Riemannian manifold. Our method is essentially based on a detailed study of geometric characteristics of norms…

The manifold hypothesis says that natural high-dimensional data lie on or around a low-dimensional manifold. The recent success of statistical and learning-based methods in very high dimensions empirically supports this hypothesis,…

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…

We establish the area formula for change-of-variable mappings in the Sobolev space $W^{k,p}_{\text{loc}}$. Our approach relies on constructing Lipschitz approximations of Sobolev functions that agree with the original functions outside a…

In this article we present a coherent rigorous overview of the main properties of Sobolev-Slobodeckij spaces of sections of vector bundles on compact manifolds; results of this type are scattered through the literature and can be difficult…

Smooth maps $u\colon\mathbb B^3\to\mathbb S^2$ can be lifted to $\hat u\colon\mathbb B^3\to\mathbb S^3$ using the Hopf fibration $h\colon \mathbb S^3\to\mathbb S^2$ via the factorization $u=h\circ\hat u$. In this note we characterize the…

We have recently introduced the trimming property for a complete Riemannian manifold $N^{n}$ as a necessary and sufficient condition for bounded maps to be strongly dense in $W^{1, p}(B^m; N^{n})$ when $p \in \{1, \dotsc, m\}$. We prove in…

Some results on the approximation of functions from the Sobolev spaces on metric graphs by step functions are obtained. The estimates are uniform with respect to all graphs of a given finite length, and the constant factors in the…

This paper lays the foundations of an approach to applying Gromov's ideas on quantitative topology to topological data analysis. We introduce the "contiguity complex", a simplicial complex of maps between simplicial complexes defined in…

We determine upper asymptotic estimates of Kolmogorov and linear $n$-widths of unit balls in Sobolev and Besov norms in $L_{p}$-spaces on compact Riemannian manifolds. The proofs rely on estimates for the near-diagonal localization of the…
