Abstract: The limit of a locally uniformly converging sequence of analytic functions is an analytic function. Yu.G. Reshetnyak obtained a natural generalization of that in the theory of mappings with bounded distortion: the limit of every locally uniformly converging sequence of mappings with bounded distortion is a mapping with bounded distortion, and established the weak continuity of the Jacobians.
In this article, similar problems are studied for a sequence of Sobolev-class homeomorphisms defined on a domain in a two-step Carnot group. We show that if such a sequence converges to some homeomorphism locally uniformly, the sequence of horizontal differentials of its terms is bounded in $L_{\nu,\mathrm{loc}}$, and the Jacobians of the terms of the sequence are nonnegative almost everywhere, then the sequence of Jacobians converges to the Jacobian of the limit homeomorphism weakly in $L_{\nu,\mathrm{loc}}$; here $\nu$ is the Hausdorff dimension of the group.

Keywords and phrases: Carnot group, Sobolev mapping, Jacobian, continuity property.
