We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Stability of quasiconvex hulls and deformations with finitely many gradients
Bernd Kirchheim
Abstract
We answer a question by Kewei Zhang concerning the existence of sets with stable quasiconvex hulls. As a consequence we confirm a conjecture by John M. Ball about the existence of lipschitz maps using finitely many gradients without any rank-one connection. These functions are obtained using a new argument which unifies the convex integration method and the present Baire category approach to the existence of solutions of partial differential inclusions.
