Laplace's equation on n-dimensional singular manifolds

Abstract

We show that the Sobolev embedding is compact on punctured manifolds with conical singularities. On the other hand, we find the Sobolev inequality does not hold on punctured manifolds with Poincar\'{e} like metric, on which one has Poincar\'{e} inequality. Applying the results to the Laplace's equation on the singular manifolds, we obtain the existences of the solution in both cases. In conical singularity case, we prove further that the solution can be extended to the singular points and it is H\"{o}lder continuous. However, the solution can not be continuously extended to the singular points in Poincar\'{e} like metric case. Moreover, on singular manifolds with conical singularities, we obtain the existence and regularity result of nontrivial nonnegative solutions for the semilinear elliptic equation with subcritical exponent.
