Hodge Theory in the Sobolev Topology for the de Rham Complex

Download or read book Hodge Theory in the Sobolev Topology for the de Rham Complex written by Luigi Fontana and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1998 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the authors treat the full Hodge theory for the de Rham complex when calculated in the Sobolev topology rather than in the $L2$ topology. The use of the Sobolev topology strikingly alters the problem from the classical setup and gives rise to a new class of elliptic boundary value problems. The study takes place on both the upper half space and on a smoothly bounded domain. It features: a good introduction to elliptic theory, pseudo-differential operators, and boundary value problems; theorems completely explained and proved; and new geometric tools for differential analysis on domains and manifolds.
