Abstract: We show weak* in measures on / weak-L1 sequential continuity of umapstof(x,ablau):W1,p(O;Rm)oL1(O), where f(x,cdot) is a null Lagrangian for xinO, it is a null Lagrangian at the boundary for xinpartialO and |f(x,A)|leC(1+|A|p). We also give a precise characterization of null Lagrangians at the boundary in arbitrary dimensions. Our results explain, for instance, why umapstodetablau:W1,n(O;Rn)oL1(O) fails to be weakly continuous. Further, we state a new weak lower semicontinuity theorem for integrands depending on null Lagrangians at the boundary. The paper closes with an example indicating that a well-known result on higher integrability of determinant cite{Mue89a} need not necessarily extend to our setting. The notion of quasiconvexity at the boundary due to J.M. Ball and J. Marsden is central to our analysis.
