A nonlocal approximation of the area in codimension two

For s \in (0,1) we introduce a notion of fractional s -mass on (n-2) -dimensional closed, oriented surfaces in \mathbb{R}^{n} . Moreover, we prove its \Gamma -convergence, with respect to the flat topology, to the (n-2) -dimensional area, as s tends to 1 .

Abstract

For s \in (0,1) we introduce a notion of fractional s -mass on (n-2) -dimensional closed, oriented surfaces in \mathbb{R}^{n} . Moreover, we prove its \Gamma -convergence, with respect to the flat topology, to the (n-2) -dimensional area, as s tends to 1 .
