Abstract
We study the pullback theorem of Sobolev mappings on Carnot groups via mollification of mappings. With the pullback theorem we extend the classical result proved by Xiangdong Xie : Rigidity of Sobolev mappings for , to the case , where is the homogeneous dimension of . Therefore, some conclusions about continuity of Sobolev mappings on Carnot groups for are found. And also, the determine of horizontal gradient is invariant under the motion related to higher layer left-invariant vector fields. At last, we find a equivalent definition of quasiconformal mappings with lower integrability .
