Sobolev embedding theorems in vector bundles on non-compact manifolds
Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth (not necessarily compact) Riemannian $n$-manifold. It is well-known that dealing with Sobolev spaces in the general non-compact case becomes tricky, since for instance, there ...

On elliptic operators on non-compact manifolds
Let $(M,g)$ be a (connected, oriented) Riemannian manifold and $E$ some finite-rank $\mathbb{R}$- or $\mathbb{C}$-vector bundle equipped with some (positive-definite) inner product on the level of (...

Strictly contracting solutions to the Eikonal equation on Riemannian manifolds
Given a Riemannian manifold $M$, we say $f: M \to \mathbb R$ is a strict contraction if $|f(x) - f(y)| < |x - y|$ for all distinct $x, y \in M$.
Question: Does there exist, on every complete ...

Elliptic regularity on manifolds: Is this true?
Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold (without boundary) and denote by $\Delta_{g}$ the Laplace-Beltrami operator (or any other elliptic operator if you wish). I was trying to find a reference for the ...

Existence of a domain with simple Dirichlet eigenvalues
Let $g$ be a smooth Riemannian metric on $\mathbb R^3$ that coincides with the Euclidean metric outside a compact set $K$. Does there exist some domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary such that $K \...

Lipschitz domains ambiguous definitions
I use a lot in the study of pde bounded Lipschitz domains $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$. However I have noticed that there are some major differences in their definitions. I will put here two of them, ...
