TITLE: Compactness of Sobolev embedding for domains of finite measure
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a domain of finite Lebesgue measure, not assumed to be smooth or bounded. Is it true that the embedding of, say, $W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$ (Sobolev functions with zero boundary value) into $L^q(\Omega)$ is compact for $1/q > 1/p - 1/d$?

REPLY [3 votes]: You can find a rather general answer in the book of Adams and Fournier, Theorem 6.16. You do have the embedding you wish, under a mild measure theoretical assumption.
