The traces are extended using a new construction which can be carried out assuming the absence of the known topological and analytical obstructions. When $p \\ge m$ the same construction provides a Sobolev extension with linear estimates for maps that have a continuous extension, provided that there are no known analytical obstructions to such a control.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-03-27T16:27:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58D15", "46E35", "46T10", "58C25", "58J32" ], "keywords": [ "sobolev mappings", "first-order sobolev space", "compact riemannian manifolds", "analytical obstructions", "construction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 56, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
