Abstract

We prove that the topological singular set of a map in W1,3(M,S3)W^{1,3} (M, \mathbb S^3) is the boundary of an integer-multiplicity rectifiable current in MM, where MM is a closed smooth manifold of dimension greater than 3 and S3\mathbb S^3 is the three-dimensional sphere. Also, we prove that the mass of the minimal integer-multiplicity rectifiable current taking this set as the boundary is a strongly continuous functional on W1,3(M,S3)W^{1,3} (M, \mathbb S^3).
