Topology of Sobolev Mappings III

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We establish a necessary and sufficient topological condition for maps that are in W1,p (M, N) to be connected by continuous paths in W 1,p (M, N) to maps in W1,q (M, N), q > p ≥ 1. We also obtain a necessary and sufficient topological condition under which W 1,q (M, N) is strongly dense in W1,p (M, N). Several results concerning sequential weak density of smooth (or W1,q (M, N)) maps in W1,p (M, N) are also proven.
