Abstract

In this paper, we study the blow-up phenomena on the αk\alpha_k-harmonic map sequences with bounded uniformly αk\alpha_k-energy, denoted by {uαk:αk>1\mboxandαk1}\{u_{\alpha_k}: \alpha_k>1 \quad \mbox{and} \quad \alpha_k\searrow 1\}, from a compact Riemann surface into a compact Riemannian manifold. If the Ricci curvature of the target manifold is of a positive lower bound and the indices of the αk\alpha_k-harmonic map sequence with respect to the corresponding αk\alpha_k-energy are bounded, then, we can conclude that, if the blow-up phenomena occurs in the convergence of {uαk}\{u_{\alpha_k}\} as αk1\alpha_k\searrow 1, the limiting necks of the convergence of the sequence consist of finite length geodesics, hence the energy identity holds true. For a harmonic map sequence uk:(Σ,hk)Nu_k:(\Sigma,h_k)\rightarrow N, where the conformal class defined by hkh_k diverges, we also prove some similar results.
