In this paper we consider approximations introduced by Sacks-Uhlenbeck of the harmonic energy for maps from $S^2$ into $S^2$. We continue the analysis in [6] about limits of $\alpha$-harmonic maps with uniformly bounded energy. Using a…

We classify all harmonic maps with finite uniton number from a Riemann surface into an arbitrary compact simple Lie group $G$, whether $G$ has trivial centre or not, in terms of certain pieces of the Bruhat decomposition of the group…

We introduce a heat flow associated to half-harmonic maps, which have been introduced by Da Lio and Rivi\`ere. Those maps exhibit integrability by compensation in one space dimension and are related to harmonic maps with free boundary. We…

In this work we are going to establish H\"older continuity of harmonic maps from an open set $\Omega$ in an ${\rm RCD}(K,N)$ space valued into a ${\rm CAT}(\kappa)$ space, with the constraint that the image of $\Omega$ via the map is…

In 1997, J. Jost [27] and F. H. Lin [39], independently proved that every energy minimizing harmonic map from an Alexandrov space with curvature bounded from below to an Alexandrov space with non-positive curvature is locally H\"older…

We study minimal harmonic maps $g: {\mathbb{C}} \to SO(3) \backslash SL(3,{\mathbb{R}})$, parameterized by polynomial cubic differentials $P$ in the plane. The asymptotic structure of such a $g$ is determined by a convex polygon $Y(P)$ in…

We show that the Dirichlet problem at infinity is unsolvable for the p-Laplace equation for any nonconstant continuous boundary data, for certain range of p>n, on an n-dimensional Cartan-Hadamard manifold constructed from a complete…

Suppose X/Gamma is an arithmetic locally symmetric space of noncompact type (with the natural metric induced by the Killing form of the isometry group of X), and let p be a point on the visual boundary of X. It was shown by T.Hattori that…

In a recent paper the first and the third authors introduced the notion of horizontal \alpha-harmonic map, with respect to a given C^1 planes distribution P_T on all R^m. The goal of this paper is to investigate compactness and quantization…

The energy, the $p$-energy ($p\in\mathbb{R}$ with $p\geq 2$) and the extrinsic $k$-energy ($k\in\mathbb{N}$) for maps between Riemannian manifolds are central objects in the geometric calculus of variations. The equator map from the unit…

We study biharmonic maps and f-biharmonic maps from a round sphere $(S^2, g_0)$, the latter maps are equivalent to biharmonic maps from Riemann spheres $(S^2, f^{-1}g_0)$. We proved that for rotationally symmetric maps between rotationally…

We study boundary regularity of maps from two-dimensional domains into manifolds which are critical with respect to a generic conformally invariant variational functional and which, at the boundary, enter perpendicularly into a support…

In this paper, we develop a loop group description of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ ``of finite uniton type", from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type. This develops work of…

f-Harmonic maps were first introduced and studied by Lichnerowicz in \cite{Li} (see also Section 10.20 in Eells-Lemaire's report \cite{EL}). In this paper, we study a subclass of f-harmonic maps called f-harmonic morphisms which pull back…

For minimizers in a geometrically nonlinear Cosserat model for micropolar elasticity of continua, we prove interior H\"older regularity, up to isolated singular points that may be possible if the exponent $p$ from the model is $2$ or in…

We construct and analyze solutions to a regularized homogeneous $p$-harmonic map flow equation for general $p \geq 2$. The homogeneous version of the problem is new and features a monotonicity formula extending the one found by Struwe for…

In the first part of this paper, we prove local interior and boundary gradient estimates for p-harmonic functions on general Riemannian manifolds. With these estimates, following the strategy in recent work of R. Moser, we prove an…

We study the asymptotics as $p\uparrow 2$ of stationary $p$-harmonic maps $u_p\in W^{1,p}(M,S^1)$ from a compact manifold $M^n$ to $S^1$, satisfying the natural energy growth condition $$\int_M|du_p|^p=O(\frac{1}{2-p}).$$ Along a…

In this paper, we extend the celebrated global regularity theory of Naber-Valtorta [Ann. Math. 2017] to 1/2-harmonic mappings into manifolds. Inspired by their work, we first adapt Lin's defect measure theory [Ann. Math. 1999] to such maps…

We prove existence results for optimization problems for the $k$th Laplace eigenvalue on closed Riemannian manifolds of dimension $m \geq 3$, depending on the choice of normalization. One such normalization leads to eigenvalue optimization…
