The Gauss formula for the Laplacian on hypersurfaces

Chi Hin Chan, Magdalena Czubak

Published 2022-12-22Version 1

We extend the Gauss formula relating the extrinsic connection to the intrinsic connection to a formula for the extrinsic, Euclidean Laplacian to the intrinsic Laplacian of a vector field on a hypersurface. As a byproduct, we derive a formula for the Laplacian of a $1$-form on a surface of revolution in terms of the Lie derivatives. Physically, these formulas are motivated by the study of the formulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on a Riemannian manifold.
