## TL;DR

This paper generalizes the Reynolds Transport Theorem to submanifolds with corners, removing restrictive boundedness conditions and enabling more flexible modeling of evolving domains with irregular boundaries.

## Contribution

It extends classical integral theorems to manifolds with corners, addressing a significant gap for unbounded and irregularly bounded evolving sets.

## Key findings

- Proved generalized Reynolds Transport Theorem for manifolds with corners.
- Removed boundedness restrictions on domains and integrands.
- Facilitated applications to models with irregular boundaries.

## Abstract

The Reynolds Transport Theorem, colloquially known as 'differentiation under the integral sign', is a central tool of applied mathematics, finding application in a variety of disciplines such as fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics, and statistical physics. In this work we state and prove generalizations thereof to submanifolds with corners evolving in a manifold via the flow of a smooth time-independent or time-dependent vector field. Thereby we close a practically important gap in the mathematical literature, as related works require various 'boundedness conditions' on domain or integrand that are cumbersome to satisfy in common modeling situations. By considering manifolds with corners, a generalization of manifolds and manifolds with boundary, this work constitutes a step towards a unified treatment of classical integral theorems for the 'unbounded case' for which the boundary of the evolving set can exhibit some irregularity.
