Abstract:

We characterize weak limits of sequences of smooth functions from $B^n$ into suitable manifolds \,${\cal Y}$\, with equibounded $W^{1/2}$-energies, the relaxed $W^{1/2}$-energy and we prove strong density of smooth maps. We then obtain the weak sequential density of smooth maps in \,$W^{1/2}(B^n,{\cal Y})$\, and a criterion for strong density of smooth maps.
