We extend to the higher dimension results about minimal connections and optimal lifting of maps of bounded variation with values into S^1. Namely, we first outline the link between lifting and connections of maps in BV(B^n,S^1). We then write in an explicit way the energy of the optimal lifting of BV-maps. Finally, we show that the minimal connection can be seen as the distance from gradient maps.

Abstract
We extend to the higher dimension results about minimal connections and optimal lifting of maps of bounded variation with values into S^1. Namely, we first outline the link between lifting and connections of maps in BV(B^n,S^1). We then write in an explicit way the energy of the optimal lifting of BV-maps. Finally, we show that the minimal connection can be seen as the distance from gradient maps.File in questo prodotto:
