Abstract: For every $2<p<3$, we show that $uin{W}^{1,p}(B^3;S^2)$ can be strongly approximated by maps in $C^{i}nfty(Bar{B}^3;S^2)$ if, and only if, the distributional Jacobian of $u$ vanishes identically. This result was originally proved by Bethuel-Coron-Demengel-Helein, but we present a different strategy which is motivated by the $W^{2,p}$-case.
