Let  𝒴   be a smooth compact oriented riemannian manifoldwithout boundary, and assume that its 1 -homology group has notorsion. Weak limits of graphs of smooth maps  u k : B n → 𝒴   with equibounded total variation give riseto equivalence classes of cartesian currents in  cart 1 , 1 ( B n 𝒴 )   for which we introduce a natural B V -energy.Assume moreover that the first homotopy group of   𝒴   iscommutative. In any dimension   n   we prove that every element  T   in   cart 1 , 1 ( B n 𝒴 )   can be approximatedweakly in the sense of currents by a sequence...

Connecting topological Hopf singularities

Robert Hardt, Tristan Rivière (2003)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

Smooth maps between riemannian manifolds are often not strongly dense in Sobolev classes of finite energy maps, and an energy drop in a limiting sequence of smooth maps often is accompanied by the production (or bubbling) of an associated rectifiable current. For finite 2-energy maps from the 3 ball to the 2 sphere, this phenomenon has been well-studied in works of Bethuel-Brezis-Coron and Giaquinta-Modica-Soucek where a finite mass 1 dimensional rectifiable current occurs whose boundary...
