Consider the Sobolev class W 1, p (M, N) where M and N are compact manifolds. We present some sufficient conditions which guarantee that W 1, p (M, N) is pathconnected. We also discuss cases where W 1, p (M, N) admits more than one component. There are still a number of open problems, especially con

β¦ Synopsis
Consider the Sobolev class W s, p (M, N ) where M and N are compact manifolds, and p β₯ 1, s β (0, 1 + 1/ p). We present a necessary and sufficient condition for two maps u and v in W s, p (M, N ) to be continuously connected in W s, p (M, N ). We also discuss the problem of connecting a map u β W s, p (M, N ) to a smooth map f β C β (M, N ).

We study different Sobolev spaces associated with multidimensional Laguerre expansions. To do this we establish an analogue of P.A. Meyer's multiplier theorem, prove some transference results between higher order Riesz-Hermite and Riesz-Laguerre transforms, and introduce fractional derivatives and i
## Abstract We establish a necessary and sufficient topological condition for maps that are in __W__^1,__p__^(__M, N__) to be connected by continuous paths in __W__^1,__p__^(__M, N__) to maps in __W__^1,__q__^(__M, N__), __q__ > __q__ β₯ 1. We also obtain a necessary and sufficient topological condi
