Limits of Sobolev Homeomorphisms: Injectivity

Abstract

In this talk, we discuss the weak limits of Sobolev homeomorphisms and their injectivity properties. We show that these mappings are almost everywhere injective when the Sobolev exponent p>n−1. In the critical case p=n−1, injectivity almost everywhere can still be guaranteed under specific coercivity conditions. For p≤n−1, we provide an example where the strong limit of homeomorphisms fails to preserve injectivity.
