We prove that if the minors of degree $k$ of a Sobolev map $\mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}^d$ are smooth then the map is smooth, when $k,d$ are not both even. We use this result to derive a simple, self-contained proof of the famous Liouville…

We prove a quantification result for harmonic maps with free boundary from arbitrary Riemannian surfaces into the unit ball of ${\mathbb R}^{n+1}$ with bounded energy. This generalizes results obtained by Da Lio on the disc.

In 1996, Shi generalized the epsilon-regularity theorem of Schoen and Uhlenbeck to energy-minimizing harmonic maps from a domain equipped with a bounded measurable Riemannian metric. In the present work we prove a compactness result for…

We prove Hoelder continuity for n/2-harmonic maps from subsets of Rn into a sphere. This extends a recent one-dimensional result by F. Da Lio and T. Riviere to arbitrary dimensions. The proof relies on compensation effects which we quantify…

Let (X,L) be a polarized compact manifold, i.e. L is an ample line bundle over X and denote by H the infinite dimensional space of all positively curved Hermitian metrics on L equipped with the Mabuchi metric. In this short note we show,…

In 1983, Schoen-Uhlenbeck \cite{SU83} established boundary regularity for energy-minimizing maps between smooth manifolds with the Dirichlet boundary condition under the assumption that both the boundary and the data are of $C^{2,\alpha}$.…

In this paper we continue the investigation of the regularity of the so-called weak $\frac{n}{p}$-harmonic maps in the critical case. These are critical points of the following nonlocal energy \[ {\mathcal{L}}_s(u)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}| (…

We study the regularity of weak solutions for two elliptic systems involving the $n$-Laplacian and a critical nonlinearity in the right hand side: $H$-systems and $n$-harmonic maps into compact Riemannian manifolds. Under the assumptions…

Sectional curvature bounds are of central importance in the study of Riemannian manifolds, both in smooth differential geometry and in the generalized synthetic setting of Alexandrov spaces. Riemannian metrics along with metric spaces of…

We prove partial regularity of weakly stationary harmonic maps with (partially) free boundary data on manifolds where the domain metric may degenerate or become singular along the free boundary at the rate $d^\alpha$ for the distance…

We consider the category of all locally Lipschitz contractible metric spaces and all locally Lipschitz maps, which is a wide class of metric spaces, including all finite dimensional Alexandrov spaces and all CAT spaces. We also consider the…

We study uniform Lipschitz regularity estimates for elliptic systems in divergence form with continuous coefficients, based on rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients derived from homogenization theory. We extend a result by Avellaneda…

We study an elliptic differential operator A on a manifold with conic points. Assuming A to be defined on the smooth functions supported away from the singularities, we first address the question of possible closed extensions of A to L^p…

In this two papers we deal with the relative homotopy Dirichlet problem for p-harmonic maps from compact manifolds with boundary to manifolds of non-positive sectional curvature. Notably, we give a complete solution to the problem in case…

In this paper, we derive several regularity results for harmonic mappings into Euclidean spheres associated with rather general energies related to fractional Sobolev spaces. These maps generalize families of maps introduced by Da Lio,…

Motivated by the Lipschitz rigidity problem in scalar curvature geometry, we prove that if a closed smooth spin manifold admits a distance decreasing continuous map of non-zero degree to a sphere, then either the scalar curvature is…

Certain solvable extensions of $H$-type groups provide noncompact counterexamples to the so-called Lichnerowicz conjecture, which asserted that ``harmonic'' Riemannian spaces must be rank 1 symmetric spaces.

Conformal harmonic maps from a 4-dimensional conformal manifold to a Riemannian manifold are maps satisfying a certain conformally invariant fourth order equation. We prove a general existence result for conformal harmonic maps, analogous…
