Abstract:

Let \,${\cal Y}$\, be a smooth 1-connected compact oriented manifold without boundary, such that its $2$-homology group has no torsion. We characterize in any dimension \,$n$\, the weak \,$W^{1,2}(B^n,{\cal Y})$ lower semicontinuous envelope of the Dirichlet integral of Sobolev maps in \,$W^{1,2}(B^n,{\cal Y})$.
