Abstract

We consider triholomorphic maps from an almost hyper-Hermitian manifold M4m\mathcal{M}^{4m} into a hyperK\"ahler manifold N4n\mathcal{N}^{4n}. This means that uW1,2u \in W^{1,2} satisfies a quaternionic del-bar equation. We work under the assumption that uu is locally strongly approximable in W1,2W^{1,2} by smooth maps: then such maps are almost stationary harmonic (when M\mathcal{M} is hyperK\"ahler as well, then stationary harmonic). We show that in this more general situation the classical ϵ\epsilon-regularity result still holds. We then address compactness issues for a weakly converging sequence uuu_\ell \rightharpoonup u_\infty of strongly approximable triholomorphic maps u:MNu_\ell:\mathcal{M} \to \mathcal{N} with uniformly bounded Dirichlet energies. The blow up analysis leads, as in the usual stationary setting, to the existence of a rectifiable blow-up set Σ\Sigma of codimension 22, away from which the sequence converges strongly. The defect measure Θ(x)H4m2Σ\Theta(x) {\mathcal{H}}^{4m-2} \llcorner \Sigma encodes the loss of energy in the limit; we prove that for a.e. point on Σ\Sigma the value of Θ\Theta is given by the sum of energies of a (finite) number of smooth non-constant holomorphic bubbles (here the holomorphicity is understood w.r.t. a complex structure on N\mathcal{N} that depends on the chosen point on Σ\Sigma). In the case that M\mathcal{M} is hyperK\"ahler this result was established by C. Y. Wang (2003) with a different proof; we rely on Lorentz space estimates. By means of a calibration and a homological argument we further prove that for each portion of ΣSingu\Sigma \setminus \text{Sing}_{u_\infty} contained in a Lipschitz graph we find a unique alm. compl. st. on M\mathcal{M} that makes the portion pseudoholomorphic and smooth, with Θ\Theta constant; moreover the bubbles originating at points of such a smooth piece are holomorphic for a common complex structure.
