ABSTRACT
We prove a new approximation theorem, which enables us to show that the relaxed energy $\mathcal{F}(u)$ of Sobolev mappings u from higher dimensional balls into S2 is given by $% F{\left( u \right)}: = E{\left( u \right)} + 4\pi {\text{m}}_{i} {\left( {S_{u} } \right)}%$% , provided their singular set is of Lebesgue measure zero. Here $% {\text{m}}_{i} {\left( {S_{u} } \right)}%$% is the mass of the minimal integer multiplicity connection associated to the singularity current S u of u. Using this approximation theorem, we prove a partial regularity theorem for minimizers of the relaxed energy functional.

uming m - 1 < kp < m, we prove that the space C( M, N) of smooth mappings between compact Riemannian manifolds M, N ( m = dim M) is dense in the Sobolev space W( M, N) if and only if p( N) = {0}. If p( N) ? {0}, then every mapping in W( M, N) can still be approximated by mappings M ? N which are...
