Joint IAS/Princeton/Rutgers Analysis Seminar
Maps with Values into S^1 and Minimal Connections
Maps in W^{1,1} from the sphere S^2 into the circle S^1 can have, at most, countably many topological singularities. I will present some techniques which allow us to localize and quantify those "defects". Joint work with H. Brezis and P. Mironescu.
