Abstract

Let ΩRn\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n be an open set and let fW1,p(Ω,Rn)f\in W^{1,p}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n) be a weak (sequential) limit of Sobolev homeomorphisms. Then ff is injective almost everywhere for p>n1p>n-1 both in the image and in the domain. For pn1p\leq n-1 we construct a strong limit of homeomorphisms such that the preimage of a point is a continuum for every point in a set of positive measure in the image and a topological image of a point is a continuum for every point in a set of positive measure in the domain.
