The bounded variation seminorm and the Sobolev seminorm on compact manifolds are represented as a limit of fractional Sobolev seminorms. This establishes a characterization of functions of bounded variation and of Sobolev functions on compact manifolds. As an application the special case of sets of finite perimeter is considered.

This note treats several problems for the fractional perimeter or s-perimeter on the sphere. The spherical fractional isoperimetric inequality is established. It turns out that the equality cases are exactly the spherical caps. Furthermore, the convergence of fractional perimeters to the surface area as s 1 is proven. It is shown that their limit as s −∞ can be expressed in terms of the volume.
