The distributional k -dimensional Jacobian of a map u in the Sobolev space W 1 , k 1 which takes values in the sphere S k 1 can be viewed as the boundary of a rectifiable current of codimension k carried by (part of) the singularity of u which is topologically relevant. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the range of the Jacobian operator; in particular, we show that any boundary M of codimension k can be realized as Jacobian of a Sobolev map valued in S k 1 . In case M is polyhedral, the map we construct is smooth outside M plus an additional polyhedral set of lower dimension, and can be used in the constructive part of the proof of a Γ -convergence result for functionals of Ginzburg-Landau type, as described in [2].

AB - The distributional $k$-dimensional Jacobian of a map $u$ in the Sobolev space $W^{1,k−1}$ which takes values in the sphere $S^{k−1}$ can be viewed as the boundary of a rectifiable current of codimension $k$ carried by (part of) the singularity of $u$ which is topologically relevant. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the range of the Jacobian operator; in particular, we show that any boundary $M$ of codimension $k$ can be realized as Jacobian of a Sobolev map valued in $S^{k−1}$. In case $M$ is polyhedral, the map we construct is smooth outside $M$ plus an additional polyhedral set of lower dimension, and can be used in the constructive part of the proof of a $\Gamma $-convergence result for functionals of Ginzburg-Landau type, as described in [2].
