On a coregular division of a differential space by an equivalence relation
Absolutely continuous functions of n variables were recently introduced by J. Malý [5]. We introduce a more general definition, suggested by L. Zajíček. This new absolute continuity also implies continuity, weak differentiability with gradient in Lⁿ, differentiability almost everywhere and the area formula. It is shown that our definition does not depend on the shape of balls in the definition.
We consider and study several weak formulations of the Hessian determinant, arising by formal integration by parts. Our main concern are their continuity properties. We also compare them with the Hessian measure.
