The Dirichlet problem for the Jacobian equation in critical and supercritical Sobolev spaces

We study existence and regularity of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the prescribed Jacobian equation, $$\det D u =f$$ det D u = f , where f is integrable and bounded away from zero. In particular, we take $$f\in L^p$$ f ∈ L p , where $$p>1$$ p > 1 , or in $$L\log L$$ L log L . We prove that for a Baire-generic f in either space there are no solutions with the expected regularity.
