Abstract: | Assume that a submanifold M ? ?n of an arbitrary codimension k ? {1, …, n} is closed in some open set O→?n. With a given function u ? C2(OM) we may associate its trivial extension u: O→? such that u|OM=u and u|m ≡ 0. The jump of the Laplacian of the function u on the submanifold M is defined by the distribution Δu — Δu. By applying some general version of the Fubini theorem to the nonlinear projection onto M we obtain the formula for the jump of the Laplacian (Theorem 2.2). |
