Let (M, g) be an N-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold without boundary. When m is a positive integer strictly smaller than N, we prove that, and alpha (N,m) is the best constant in Adams' original inequality (Ann Math 128:385-398, 1988). This is a modified version of Adams' inequality on compact Riemannian manifold which has been proved by Fontana (Comment Math Helv 68:415-454, 1993). Using the above inequality in the case when m = 1, we establish sufficient conditions under which the quasi-linear equation for some gamma > 0.
