A remark on the concentration compactness principle in critical dimension
Fengbo Hang · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2020
We prove some refinements of concentration compactness principle for Sobolev space $W^{1,n}$ on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$. As an application, we extend Aubin's theorem for functions on $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ with zero first order moments of the area element to higher order moments case. Our arguments are very flexible and can be easily modified for functions satisfying various boundary conditions or belonging to higher order Sobolev spaces.
