Nonunique tangent maps at isolated singularities of harmonic maps

Differential Geometry 2009-09-25 v1

Abstract

Shoen and Uhlenbeck showed that ``tangent maps'' can be defined at singular points of energy minimizing maps. Unfortunately these are not unique, even for generic boundary conditions. Examples are discussed which have isolated singularities with a continuum of distinct tangent maps.
