For Sobolev embeddings in particular, defect of compactness is expressed as a profile decomposition - a sum of terms, called elementary concentrations, with asymptotically disjoint supports. We discuss a profile decomposition for the Sobolev space of a Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, which is a sum of elementary concentrations associated with concentration profiles defined on manifolds different from M, that are induced by a limiting procedure. The profiles satisfy an inequality of Plancherel type, and a similar relation, related to the Brezis-Lieb Lemma, holds for Lebesgue norms of profiles on the respective manifolds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-04-21T11:46:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46E35", "46B50", "58J99", "35B44", "35A25" ], "keywords": [ "sobolev space", "bounded geometry", "compactness", "elementary concentrations", "profile decomposition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
