Abstract: We study some basic analytic questions related to differential operators on Lie manifolds, which are manifolds whose large scale geometry can be described by a a Lie algebra of vector fields on a compactification. We extend to Lie manifolds several classical results on Sobolev spaces, elliptic regularity, and mapping properties of pseudodifferential operators. A tubular neighborhood theorem for Lie submanifolds allows us also to extend to regular open subsets of Lie manifolds the classical results on traces of functions in suitable Sobolev spaces. Our main application is a regularity result on polyhedral domains PPsubsetRR3 using the weighted Sobolev spaces Kondma(PP). In particular, we show that there is no loss of Kondma--regularity for solutions of strongly elliptic systems with smooth coefficients. For the proof, we identify Kondma(PP) with the Sobolev spaces on PP associated to the metric rPP2gE, where gE is the Euclidean metric and rPP(x) is a smoothing of the Euclidean distance from x to the set of singular points of PP. A suitable compactification of the interior of PP then becomes a regular open subset of a Lie manifold. We also obtain the well-posedness of a non-standard boundary value problem on a smooth, bounded domain with boundary maOsubsetRRn using weighted Sobolev spaces, where the weight is the distance to the boundary.
