Interplay of Sobolev Spaces on Compact Manifolds: Embedding Theorems, Inequalities, and Compactness

Abstract

This research paper explores various properties of Sobolev spaces on compact manifolds, focusing on embedding theorems, compactness, and inequalities. We establish the compact embedding of Sobolev spaces into continuous and Lebesgue spaces, as well as the continuity and compactness of embeddings between different Sobolev spaces. We also derive inequalities involving the Laplacian and gradients of functions, providing insights into their behavior on manifolds. These results contribute to our understanding of the interplay between function smoothness, continuity, and distribution on compact manifolds.
