We prove the existence of rational maps having smooth degenerate Herman rings. This answers a question of Eremenko affirmatively. The proof is based on the construction of smooth Siegel disks by Avila, Buff and Ch\'{e}ritat as well as the…

Let $A \subset \mathbb{R} ^2 $ be a smooth doubly connected domain. We consider the Dirichlet energy $E(u)=\int_{A} |\nabla u|^2$, where $u:A \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$, and look for critical points of this energy with prescribed modulus…

We obtain a sharp estimate on the norm of the differential of a harmonic map from the unit disc $\mathbb D$ in $\mathbb C$ into the unit ball $\mathbb B^n$ in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 2$, at any point where the map is conformal. In dimension…

Polyharmonic maps of order k (briefly, k-harmonic maps) are a natural generalization of harmonic and biharmonic maps. These maps are defined as the critical points of suitable higher order functionals which extend the classical energy…
