Invariance properties of the Laplace operator
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00032.] The paper deals with a special problem of gauge theory. In his previous paper [The invariance of Sobolev spaces over noncompact manifolds, Partial differential equations, Proc. Symp., Holzhaus/GDR 1988, Teubner- Texte Math. 112, 73-107 (1989; Zbl 0681.58011)], the author introduced the Sobolev completions of the space of all G-connections on a G-principal fibre bundle P. In the present paper, under the assumption of bounded curvatures and their...
