Let $\pi : \widetilde{\mathcal{N}} \to \mathcal{N}$ be a Riemannian covering, with $\mathcal{N}$, $\widetilde{\mathcal{N}}$ smooth compact connected Riemannian manifolds. If $\mathcal{M}$ is an $m$-dimensional compact simply-connected…
The compact Riemannian manifolds $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ for which the trace operator from the first-order Sobolev space of mappings $\smash{\dot{W}}^{1, p} (\mathcal{M}, \mathcal{N})$ to the fractional Sobolev-Slobodecki\u{\i}…
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…
Given a connected Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$, an \(m\)--dimensional Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ which is either compact or the Euclidean space, $p\in [1, +\infty)$ and $s\in (0,1]$, we establish, for the problems of…
We give a quantitative characterization of traces on the boundary of Sobolev maps in $\dot{W}^{1,p}(\mathcal M, \mathcal N)$, where $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ are compact Riemannian manifolds, $\partial \mathcal{M} \neq \emptyset$: the…
Brezis and Mironescu have announced several years ago that for a compact manifold $N^n \subset \mathbb{R}^\nu$ and for real numbers $0 < s < 1$ and $1 \le p < \infty$ the class $C^\infty(\overline{Q}^m; N^n)$ of smooth maps on the cube with…
Relying on a recent criterion, due to A.~Petrunin [18], to check if a complete, non-compact, Riemannian manifold admits an isometric embedding into a Euclidean space with positive reach, we extend to manifolds with such property the…
A free homotopy decomposition of any continuous map from a compact Riemmanian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ to a compact Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$ into a finite number maps belonging to a finite set is constructed, in such a way that the…
We consider the problem of strong density of smooth maps in the Sobolev space $ W^{s,p}(Q^{m};\mathcal{N}) $, where $ 0 < s < +\infty $, $ 1 \leq p < +\infty $, $ Q^{m} $ is the unit cube in $ \mathbb{R}^{m} $, and $ \mathcal{N} $ is a…
Given a compact manifold $N^n \subset \mathbb{R}^\nu$, $s \ge 1$ and $1 \le p < \infty$, we prove that the class of smooth maps on the cube with values into $N^n$ is strongly dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s, p}(Q^m; N^n)$ when…
The main result of the present paper, combined with earlier results of Hardt and Lin settles the extension problem for $W^{1,p}(\mathcal M, \mathcal N)$, where $\mathcal M$ and $\mathcal N$ are compact riemannian manfolds, $\mathcal M$…
We give direct proofs and constructions of the trace and extension theorems for Sobolev mappings in $W^{1, 1} (M, N)$, where $M$ is Riemannian manifold with compact boundary $\partial M$ and $N$ is a complete Riemannian manifold. The…
A basilar property and a useful tool in the theory of Sobolev spaces is the density of smooth compactly supported functions in the space $W^{k,p}(\R^n)$ (i.e. the functions with weak derivatives of orders $0$ to $k$ in $L^p$). On Riemannian…
This manuscript develops a framework for the strong approximation of Sobolev maps with values in compact manifolds, emphasizing the interplay between local and global topological properties. Building on topological concepts adapted to VMO…
We show that limits of sequences of smooth maps between compact Riemannian manifolds with equi-integrable $W^{1, p}$-Sobolev energy can always be strongly approximated by smooth maps, giving a counterpart of Hang's density result in $W^{1,…
Given $m \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$ and a compact Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$, we construct for every map $u$ in the critical Sobolev space $W^{m/(m + 1), m + 1} (\mathbb{S}^m, \mathcal{N})$, a map $U : \mathbb{B}^{m + 1} \to…
This paper deals with fractional Sobolev spaces on a compact Riemannian manifold. We prove a Sobolev inequality in the critical range with an optimal constant for these fractional Sobolev spaces. We use this result to study the existence of…
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 give a classification of many closed Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover possesses a nontrivial amount of symmetry. More precisely, we consider closed Riemannian manifolds $M$ such that Isom$(\widetilde{M})$ has noncompact…
We study fractional Sobolev and Besov spaces on noncompact Riemannian manifolds with bounded geometry. Usually, these spaces are defined via geodesic normal coordinates which, depending on the problem at hand, may often not be the best…
