Given two Riemannian manifolds $M$ and $N\subset\mathbb{R}^L$, we consider the energy concentration phenomena of the penalized energy functional $$E_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_M\frac{\vert\nabla u\vert^2}{2}+\frac{F(u)}{\epsilon^2},u\in…

We construct a closed Riemannian manifold $(N,h)$ and a sequence of $\alpha$-harmonic maps from $S^2$ into $N$ with uniformly bounded energy such that the energy identity for this sequence is not true.

In this paper we show the energy identity and the no-neck property for $\varepsilon$- and $\alpha$-harmonic maps with homogeneous target manifolds. To prove this in the $\varepsilon$-harmonic case we introduce the idea of using an…

We extend the well-known Sacks-Uhlenbeck energy gap result (1981) for harmonic maps from closed Riemann surfaces into closed Riemannian manifolds from the case of maps with small energy (thus near a constant map), to the case of harmonic…
