review text: Given a function \(f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}\), the composition operator \(T_f\) is defined by \(T_f(g):= f\circ g\), where \(g\) runs over some function space. The problem of ``automatic continuity'' of \(T_f\) consists in verifying or falsifying that \(T_f\) is always continuous in a function space \(X\) whenever \(T_f(X)\subseteq X\). In some cases (e.g., for \(X= C\)) the answer to this problem is completely trivial, in other cases surprisingly difficult, in still other cases simply unknown. For instance, the (positive) answer was given for \(X= C^1\) by \textit{J. Appell} et al. [Boll. Unione Mat. Ital. (9) 4, No. 3, 321--336 (2011; Zbl 1229.47086)], while the (negative) answer for \(X=\text{Lip}\) by means of a counterexample due to \textit{M. Z. Berkolaiko} [in: Trudy Sem. funkcional. Analizu 12, Voronez, 96--104 (1969; Zbl 0266.47053)]. Remarkably, in the case \(X=BV\) the problem of automatic continuity remained open for many decades, and was solved (positively) only recently by \textit{P. Maćkowiak} [Aequationes Math. 91, No. 4, 759--777 (2017; Zbl 1472.47050)] and, with a much simpler and elegant proof, by \textit{S. Reinwand} [Real Anal. Exch. 45, No. 1, 173--204 (2020; Zbl 1440.26004)]. The problem of automatic continuity is particularly delicate when \(T_f\) is considered in the Sobolev space \(X= W^m_p(\mathbb{R}^n)\) for \(1\le p<\infty\), \(m\in\mathbb{N}_0\), and \(n\in\mathbb{N}\). The answer is positive in many cases, as was shown by \textit{A. Ancona} for \(m=1\) and \(p=2\) [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. A 282, 871--873 (1976; Zbl 0322.31011)], by \textit{M. Marcus} and \textit{V. J. Mizel} [J. Funct. Anal. 33, 217--229 (1979; Zbl 0418.46024)] for \(m=1\) and \(p>1\), by \textit{G. Bourdaud} and \textit{M. Lanza de Cristoforis} [Stud. Math. 184, No. 3, 271--298 (2008; Zbl 1139.46030)] for \(m> n/p\), \(m\ge 2\) and \(p>1\), and by \textit{B. E. J. Dahlberg} [Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 35, 183--185 (1979; Zbl 0421.46027)] for \(1+ 1/p<m< n/p\), wher…
