# Pólya-Szegő Inequalities on Submanifolds with Small Total Mean Curvature

## TL;DR

This paper proves mathematical inequalities on curved surfaces with small curvature, leading to new results in functional analysis.

## Contribution

The paper introduces Pólya-Szegő inequalities on submanifolds with bounded total mean curvature and derives related Sobolev and Log-Sobolev inequalities.

## Key findings

- Pólya-Szegő inequalities are established for Sobolev functions on submanifolds with small total mean curvature.
- A sharp p-Log-Sobolev inequality is proven for minimal submanifolds in codimensions one and two.
- The asymptotic sharpness of the inequalities is analyzed as the dimension tends to infinity.

## Abstract
