Abstract

We show that for any regular bounded domain ΩRn\Omega\subseteq \mathbb R^n, n=2,3n=2,3, there exist infinitely many global diffeomorphisms equal to the identity on Ω\partial \Omega which solve the Eikonal equation. We also provide explicit examples of such maps on annular domains. This implies that the \infty-Laplace system arising in vectorial Calculus of Variations in LL^\infty does not suffice to characterise either limits of pp-Harmonic maps as pp\to \infty, or absolute minimisers in the sense of Aronsson.
