Elliptic regularity on compact manifold without boundary












4












$begingroup$


Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian compact manifold without boundary, and $Delta$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $M$. Is there any result on the elliptic regularity like this:



For any $uin H^1(M)$, and $fin L^2(M)$ such that $Delta u = f$ (in the sens of distributions), Then $u in H^2(M)$.
If there is a nice reference for such regularity result It would be good.

This follows from the following regularity estimate for the flat Laplacian case (which is, I believe, proved in Warner's book using Fourier series on a torus but also in most standard texts on elliptic PDEs): Given a bounded open domain $Omega subset mathbb{R}^n$, there exists $C>0$ such that for any function (or even just a distribution) $u$ compactly supported in $Omega$,
$$ tag{*} |u|_{H^2} le C|Delta_0 u|_{L^2}, $$
where $Delta_0$ is the standard flat Laplacian.



To extend this to a local regularity estimate for the Laplace-Beltrami operator, it suffices to prove regularity estimate for $u$ compactly supported on a neighborhood of each point $p in M$. If you use geodesic normal coordinates on a sufficiently small neighborhood of $p$, then you can assume that the Laplace-Beltrami operator is of the form
$$
Delta u = (delta^{ij} + a^{ij}(x))partial^2 + b^kpartial_ku
$$
where $|a^{ij}|, |b_k| < epsilon << 1$.
Therefore, if $Delta_g u = f$, then
$$
Delta_0u = -a_{ij}partial^2_{ij}u - b^kpartial_ku + f
$$
Therefore, by $(*)$
$$
|u|_{H^2} le C(epsilon |u|_{H^2} + |f|_{L^2}).
$$
If the neighborhood is sufficiently small, then $Cepsilon < 1$ and therefore,
$$
|u|_{H^2} le C|f|_{L^2}.
$$

    Unfortunately, I don't know a reference. Lemmas like this are used all the time by PDE people but, since they're used only in very specific circumstances, they rarely appear in books. Roughly the same argument does appear in the appendix of a paper I wrote on convergence of Riemannian manifolds. It's also similar in the spirit to a technique called "freezing coefficients", so you can try searching for books and papers mentioning that.

This result is true. This is Theorem 6.30 in:



F.W Warner, Foundations of differentiable manifolds and Lie groups. Corrected reprint of the 1971 edition. Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 94. Springer-Verlag, New York-Berlin, 1983.



While there are many books that deal with elliptic regularity on manifolds, Warner's book seems most elementary and oriented towards those who do not know much about analysis, but are familiar with geometry of manifolds.

    I am very fond of Wells' "Differential analysis on complex manifolds" chapter on Hodge theory. The approach by way of pseudo-differential operators may feel less elementary, but I think it leads to a clean proof and conceptual insights. I read it when I was an early graduate student who was still getting comfortable with Sobolev spaces.

    @PiotrHajlasz, Warner's book is indeed a wonderful self-contained exposition of important theorems in differential topology, whose proofs are not easily found elsewhere. I also like the way he is able to present proofs of the elliptic PDE theorems needed for the Hodge theory in such a elementary way without the fancy modern machinery.

A more general theorem with a proof using pseudodifferential operators is Theorem 7.2 in Shubin's book (Pseudodifferential operators and Spectral Theory). In your case the operator is second order and elliptic, so $m=m_0 = 2$ and $rho=1, delta=0$.

    Unfortunately, I don't know a reference. Lemmas like this are used all the time by PDE people but, since they're used only in very specific circumstances, they rarely appear in books. Roughly the same argument does appear in the appendix of a paper I wrote on convergence of Riemannian manifolds. It's also similar in the spirit to a technique called "freezing coefficients", so you can try searching for books and papers mentioning that.

    There is a similar result in Taylor's book when the $uin H^1_0(M)$. Is this implies the result for my case ?

    This result is true. This is Theorem 6.30 in:



    F.W Warner, Foundations of differentiable manifolds and Lie groups. Corrected reprint of the 1971 edition. Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 94. Springer-Verlag, New York-Berlin, 1983.



    While there are many books that deal with elliptic regularity on manifolds, Warner's book seems most elementary and oriented towards those who do not know much about analysis, but are familiar with geometry of manifolds.

      I am very fond of Wells' "Differential analysis on complex manifolds" chapter on Hodge theory. The approach by way of pseudo-differential operators may feel less elementary, but I think it leads to a clean proof and conceptual insights. I read it when I was an early graduate student who was still getting comfortable with Sobolev spaces.

      @PiotrHajlasz, Warner's book is indeed a wonderful self-contained exposition of important theorems in differential topology, whose proofs are not easily found elsewhere. I also like the way he is able to present proofs of the elliptic PDE theorems needed for the Hodge theory in such a elementary way without the fancy modern machinery.

    A more general theorem with a proof using pseudodifferential operators is Theorem 7.2 in Shubin's book (Pseudodifferential operators and Spectral Theory). In your case the operator is second order and elliptic, so $m=m_0 = 2$ and $rho=1, delta=0$.
