MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 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.

Density of Lipschitz mappings in the class of Sobolev mappings between metric spaces

Piotr Hajlasz

Abstract

We prove that Lipschitz mappings are dense in the Newtonian-Sobolev class $N^{1,p}(X,Y)$ of mappings from spaces $X$ supporting $p$-Poincar\'e inequalities into a finite Lipschitz polyhedron $Y$ if and only if $Y$ is $[p]$-connected i.e., $\pi_1(Y)=\pi_2(Y)=\ldots=\pi_{[p]}(Y)=0$, where $[p]$ is the largest integer less than or equal to $p$.
