is studied. Weak continuity of
minors of gradients of functions in
for p<N is fully characterized. Properties of the determinant are addressed
within the framework of functions of bounded variation, and a change of
variables formula is obtained. These results are relevant in the study of
equilibria, cavitation, and fracture of nonlinear elastic materials.
