Abstract: Brezis and Mironescu have announced several years ago that for a compact manifold $N^{n}subsetmathbb{R}^u$ and for real numbers $0<s<1$ and $1lep<infty$ the class $C^{i}nfty(overline{Q}^m;N^n)$ of smooth maps on the cube with values into $N^n$ is dense with respect to the strong topology in the Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(Q^m;N^n)$ when the homotopy group $p{i}_{lfloorspfloor}(N^n)$ of order $lfloorspfloor$ is trivial. The proof of this beautiful result is long and rather involved. Under the additional assumption that $N^n$ is $lfloorspfloor$ simply connected, we give a shorter proof of their result. Our proof for $spge1$ is based on the existence of a retraction of $mathbb{R}^u$ onto $N^n$ except for a small subset in the complement of $N^n$ and on the Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation inequality for maps in $W^{1,q}cap{L}^{i}nfty$. In contrast, the case $sp<1$ relies on the density of step functions on cubes in $W^{s,p}$.
