Extended solutions of the harmonic map equation in the special unitary group

Differential Geometry 2013-04-17 v1

Abstract

We classify all harmonic maps of finite uniton number from a Riemann surface into SU(n) in terms of certain pieces of the Bruhat decomposition of the subgroup of algebraic loops in SU(n). We give a description of the "Frenet frame data" for such harmonic maps in a given class.
