Abstract: We prove weak and strong versions of the coarea formula and the chain rule for distributional Jacobian determinants Ju for functions u in fractional Sobolev spaces Ws,p(Omega), where Omega is a bounded domain in mathbbRn with smooth boundary. The weak forms of the formulae are proved for the range sp>n1, s>fracn1n, while the strong versions are proved for the range spgeqn, sgeqfracnn+1. We also provide a chain rule for distributional Jacobian determinants of H"older functions and point out its relation to two open problems in geometric analysis.
