Sobolev and Poincaré inequalities on compact Riemannian manifolds

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and $B(r)$ a geodesic ball of radius $r$. Then for $u\in W^{1,p}(B(r))$, the Poincare and Sobolev–Poincaré inequalities are s …

Regularity of the Jacobian of a $W^{2,n}$ Sobolev mapping

Given a mapping in the Sobolev space $f\in W^{2,n}_{\rm loc}(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R}^n)$ I would like to know what is the Sobolev regularity of the Jacobian $J_f=\operatorname{det} Df$. It is …

Convergence of convex functions

I can prove the following result. Theorem 1. Let $f_n:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ be a sequence of convex functions that converges almost everywhere to a function $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$. Then …

Second order differentiability of convex functions

Let $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ be a convex function. Then $f$ is locally Lipschitz and hence differentiable a.e. (Rademacher). Let $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be the set of points where $f$ is different …

Traces of Sobolev spaces

Is there a simple proof of the following fact? Theorem. Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded and smooth domain. If $n>2$, then $W^{1,n-1}(\partial\Omega)\subset W^{1-\frac{1}{n},n}(\pa …

An open problem in Sobolev spaces

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain. Suppose that there there is a bounded extension operator $$ E:W^{1,p}(\Omega)\to W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^n) \quad \text{and} \quad E:W^{1,q}(\Omega)\to …
