Download or read book The $AB$ Program in Geometric Analysis: Sharp Sobolev Inequalities and Related Problems written by Olivier Druet and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Function theory and Sobolev inequalities have been the target of investigation for many years. Sharp constants in these inequalities constitute a critical tool in geometric analysis. The $AB$ programme is concerned with sharp Sobolev inequalities on compact Riemannian manifolds. This text summarizes the results of contemporary research and gives an up-to-date report on the field.
