Abstract:
We give an explicit representation formula for the p-energy of Sobolev maps with values in a metric space as defined by Korevaar and Schoen (Comm. Anal. Geom. 1 (1993), no. 3-4, 561–659). The formula is written in terms of the Lipschitz compositions introduced by Ambrosio (Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa Cl. Sci. (4) 3 (1990), n. 17, 439–478), thus further relating the two different definitions considered in the literature.
