We prove the $C^{1}$ regularity and developability of $W^{2,p}$ isometric immersions of $n$-dimensional flat domains into ${\mathbb R}^{n+k}$ where $p\ge \min\{2k, n\}$. Another parallel consequence of our methods is a similar regularity…

We prove the developability and $C^{1,1/2}$ regularity of $W^{2,2}$ isometric immersions of $n$-dimensional domains into $R^{n+1}$. As a conclusion we show that any such Sobolev isometry can be approximated by smooth isometries in the…

We show that any isometric immersion of a flat plane domain into $\mathbb R^3$ is developable provided it enjoys the little H\"older regulairty $c^{1,2/3}$. In particular, isometric immersions of local $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity with $\alpha…

We develop a framework for characterizing isometric immersions of simply connected, bounded, planar regions with piecewise smooth boundaries into three-dimensional space. Each immersion is associated with a framed curve along the boundary…

The approximation of Sobolev homeomorphisms by smooth diffeomorphisms is well understood in first-order spaces $W^{1,p}$, but remains largely open in the second-order space $W^{2,1}$ due to a fundamental tension between curvature control…

In this paper we prove the higher Sobolev regularity of minimisers for convex integral functionals evaluated on linear differential operators of order one. This intends to generalise the already existing theory for the cases of full and…

We prove that the geodesic equations of all Sobolev metrics of fractional order one and higher on spaces of diffeomorphisms and, more generally, immersions are locally well posed. This result builds on the recently established real analytic…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. It is shown that for $0\leq q\leq n$, $s\geq 0$, the embedding $j_{q}: dom(\overline{\partial})\cap dom(\overline{\partial}^{*}) \hookrightarrow…

We prove that almost every level set of a Sobolev function in a planar domain consists of points, Jordan curves, or homeomorphic copies of an interval. For monotone Sobolev functions in the plane we have the stronger conclusion that almost…
