Isoperimetric Inequalities in Annular Regions
Let $\Omega$ be an open set in $\mathbb{R}^2$ whose boundary is a rectifiable Jordan curve. Then an old result by Alfred Huber states that
$$
\left(\int_{\partial \Omega} e^u ds\right)^2 \geq 2 \left(...

A question about associated operator on continuous functions space equiped with L2 norm
For M a connected compact manifold, $T$ is in $C^{1+\nu}(M,M)$ with $\nu\in(0,1)$, i.e., $DT$ is some Hölder continuous function with Hölder exponent $\nu$. Denote by $m$ the Lebesgue measure on $M$ ...

Delta distributions that are smooth on strata of a singular manifold
This is a mild reformulation of a previous question. Let $R = C^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N)$ and let $I$ be an ideal in $R$ which cuts out an $n$-dimensional "singular $C^\infty$ manifold $X$" in $\...

Is it possible for all of the smooth/continuous curves in $R^3$ to form a Hilbert space? [closed]
Under which condition can it form a Hilbert space? Or what space can it form?
You can write down certain condition to make it to be a Hilbert space, e.g., Let $$p(t)=[x(t),y(t),z(t)]^T\in \text{R}^3$$ ...

Proof of Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition, poor man's version
Helmholtz (-Hodge) decomposition commonly used in physics includes decomposition of a (sufficiently smooth) vector field $F = -\mathrm{grad}(U) + \mathrm{curl}(W)$ on bounded simply connected domain $\...

Continuity of image of resolvent operator with respect to resolvent parameter
Suppose $D$ is a first-order differential operator on a manifold $M$ and that the inverse $(D+t)^{-1}:H^0(M)\rightarrow H^1(M)$ exists for all $t > 0$, where $H^i(M)$ is the $i^\text{th}$ Sobolev ...

Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition
I have a question regarding a decomposition of a vector field. So fix $ 1<p<\infty$ and let $ \Omega$ denote a smooth bounded domain in $ R^N$. Now let $ F $ denote a smooth vector field $F:\...

A question regarding mollifiers on Sobolev spaces on closed manifolds
Let $M$ be a closed Riemannian manifold and denote by $H^s(M), \, s\in \mathbb{R} $ the standard Sobolev spaces on $M$ defined using powers of $1+\triangle$. Let $J_n: \mathcal{D}'(M)\rightarrow \...
