Is the Leray projection continuous with respect to the Frechet topology of smooth periodic vector fields in $3$ dimensions?
Let $\mathbb{T}^3:=(\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})^3$ be the $3$-torus and $C^\infty(\mathbb{T}^3,\mathbb{R}^3)$ be the Frechet space of smooth periodic vector fields on $\mathbb{T}^3$.
By Helmholtz ...

Hodge decomposition on non-compact manifolds
Let $(\mathcal{M},g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary. Then we have the well-known Hodge decomposition
$$\Omega^{k}(\mathcal{M})\cong\mathcal{H}^{k}(\mathcal{M})\oplus\mathrm{ran}(\...

Carleson's Theorem on Manifolds
Let $M$ be an oriented, compact, differentiable manifold with some Riemmanian metric $g$, so that $(M,g)$ has a nice volume form and one can define $L^2(M,g)$ as the completion of $C^\infty(M)$ under ...

Formal adjoint of the covariant derivative
Let $E \to M$ be a vector bundle over some Riemannian metric $(M, g)$ and endow it with some fibre metric. Assume that covariant derivative $\nabla$ is compatible with the metric.
It is essentially ...

Constructing a Sobolev space containing the differential k-forms of a Riemannian manifold
I am currently writing a paper about the Hodge theorem for an algebraic topology course. The specific formulation I am proving can be stated thus. Let $M$ be a compact, orientable n-dimensional ...

Can the adjoint of the exterior derivative in semi-Riemannian geometry be defined without the Hodge * operator?
The adjoint of the exterior derivarive is defined by
$\delta:=(-1)^k\ast^{-1}d\ast$,
but I need a way which avoids the Hodge $\ast$ operator.
Is there another definition?
For example, for ...
