Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an open set and $f_k \in W^{s,p}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$ be a sequence of homeomorphisms weakly converging to $f \in W^{s,p}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$. It is known that if $s=1$ and $p > n-1$ then $f$ is…

We prove that the key property in models of Nonlinear Elasticity which corresponds to the non-interpenetration of matter, i.e. injectivity a.e., can be achieved in the class of weak limits of homeomorphisms under very minimal assumptions.…

This paper investigates the differentiability of weak limits of bi-Sobolev homeomorphisms. Given $p>n-1$, consider a sequence of homeomorphisms $f_k$ with positive Jacobians $J_{f_k} >0$ almost everywhere and $\sup_k(\|f_{k}\|_{W^{1,n-1}} +…

We work in a class of Sobolev $W^{1,p}$ maps, with $p > d-1$, from a bounded open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ to $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ that do not exhibit cavitation and whose trace on $\partial \Omega$ is also $W^{1,p}$. Under the…

For every $1\leq p<\frac{3}{2}$ we construct a Sobolev homeomorphism $f\in W^{1,p}([-1,1]^4,[-1,1]^4)$ such that $f(x)=x$ for every $x\in \partial[-1,1]^4$ but $J_f<0$ a.e.

Let $X, Y \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be Lipschitz domains, and suppose there is a homeomorphism $\varphi \colon \overline{X} \to \overline{Y}$. We consider the class of Sobolev mappings $f \in W^{1,n} (X, \mathbb{R}^n)$ with a strictly positive…

Given any $f$ a locally finitely piecewise affine homeomorphism of $\Omega \subset \rn$ onto $\Delta \subset \rn$ in $W^{1,p}$, $1\leq p < \infty$ and any $\epsilon >0$ we construct a smooth injective map $\tilde{f}$ such that…

For each $p>n$ we use local oscillations to give intrinsic characterizations of the trace of the Sobolev space $W^1_p(\Omega)$ to the boundary of an arbitrary domain $\Omega\subset R^n$.

We give sharp conditions on a local biholomorphism $F:X \to \mathbb C^{n}$ which ensure global injectivity. For $n \geq 2$, such a map is injective if for each complex line $l \subset \mathbb C^{n}$, the pre-image $F^{-1}(l)$ embeds…

In this article, we give probabilistic versions of Sobolev embeddings on any Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. More precisely, we prove that for natural probability measures on $L^2(M)$, almost every function belong to all spaces $L^p(M)$,…

We define the notion of colocally weakly differentiable maps from a manifold $M$ to a manifold $N$. If $p \ge 1$ and $M$ and $N$ are endowed with a Riemannian metric, this allows us to define intrinsically the homogeneous Sobolev space…

We show that a sufficient condition for the weak limit of a sequence of $W^1_q$-homeomorphisms with finite distortion to be almost everywhere injective for $q \geq n-1$, can be stated by means of composition operators. Applying this result,…

Let $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb R^2$ be a domain and let $f\in W^{1,1}(\Omega,\mathbb R^2)$ be a homeomorphism (between $\Omega$ and $f(\Omega)$). Then there exists a sequence of smooth diffeomorphisms $f_k$ converging to $f$ in…
