Sobolev mappings: Lipschitz density is not an isometric invariant of the target

Functional Analysis 2011-09-22 v1

Abstract

If MM is a compact smooth manifold and XX is a compact metric space, the Sobolev space W1,p(M,X)W^{1,p}(M,X) is defined through an isometric embedding of XX into a Banach space. We prove that the answer to the question whether Lipschitz mappings Lip(M,X){\rm Lip}\,(M,X) are dense in W1,p(M,X)W^{1,p}(M,X) may depend on the isometric embedding of the target.
