Abstract

In this paper, we will study the partial regularity theorem for stationary harmonic maps from a Riemannian manifold into a Lorentzian manifold. For a weakly stationary harmonic map (u,v)(u,v) from a smooth bounded open domain ΩRm\Omega\subset\R^m to a Lorentzian manifold with Dirichlet boundary condition, we prove that it is smooth outside a closed set whose (m2)(m-2)-dimension Hausdorff measure is zero. Moreover, if the target manifold NN does not admit any harmonic sphere SlS^l, l=2,...,m1l=2,...,m-1, we will show (u,v)(u,v) is smooth.
