Abstract: Given compact Riemannian manifolds $mathcalM$ and $mathcalN$, a Riemannian covering $pi:smashwidetildemathcalNomathcalN$ by a noncompact covering space $smashwidetildemathcalN$, $1<p<infty$ and $0<s<1$, the space of liftings of fractional Sobolev maps in $smashdot{W}^{s,p}(mathcalM,mathcalN)$ is characterized when $sp>1$ and an optimal nonlinear fractional Sobolev estimate is obtained when moreover $spgedimmathcalM$. A nonlinear characterization of the sum of spaces $smashdot{W}^{s,p}(mathcalM,mathbbR)+smashdot{W}^{1,sp}(mathcalM,mathbbR)$ is also provided.
