On a counter-example to quantitative Jacobian bounds (Q495141)

This note provides a counter-example to the local positivity of the Jacobian determinant for solutions of the conductivity equation in dimension 3. It shows that the sign of the determinant cannot be imposed by an a priori choice of boundary data in \(H^{1/2}(\partial\Omega)\) depending only on the upper and lower bound of the conductivity, even locally.
