Smooth representative conjecture for finite-energy homotopy sectors
Smooth representative conjecture for finite-energy homotopy sectors
Let be the source manifold, a Lie group, and a homogeneous space. Write for the finite-energy maps and
Smooth representative conjecture. Every -homotopy sector of finite-energy maps contains a smooth representative; equivalently,
This would identify all finite-energy maps with the sectors represented through smooth reference maps and is one of the density and admissibility issues needed for a regularity theory; the source states it as unresolved in general.
