In this note we construct a profile decomposition for arbitrary sequences in the Sobolev space $H^{1,2}(M)$ of a compact Riemannian manifold, relative to the embedding of $H^{1,2}(M)$ into $L^{2^*}(M)$, generalizing the well-known profile decomposition of Struwe ([Proposition 2.1]{Struwe}) to the case of arbitrary bounded sequences.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-11T07:46:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46E35", "46B50", "58J99", "35B44", "35A25" ], "keywords": [ "profile decomposition", "limiting sobolev embedding", "compact riemannian manifold", "asymptotically disjoint supports plus", "arbitrary bounded sequences" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
