Abstract

We determine regularity results for energy minimizing maps from an nn-dimensional Riemannian polyhedral complex XX into a CAT(1) space. Provided that the metric on XX is Lipschitz regular, we prove H\"older regularity with H\"older constant and exponent dependent on the total energy of the map and the metric on the domain. Moreover, at points away from the (n2)(n-2)-skeleton, we improve the regularity to locally Lipschitz. Finally, for points xX(k)x \in X^{(k)} with kn2k \leq n-2, we demonstrate that the H\"older exponent depends on geometric and combinatorial data of the link of xXx \in X.
