We define renormalised energies for maps that describe the first-order asymptotics of harmonic maps outside of singularities arising due to obstructions generated by the boundary data and the mutliple connectedness of the target manifold.…

Let $\mathcal{N} \subset \mathbb{R}^M$ be a smooth simply connected compact manifold without boundary. A rational homotopy subgroup of $\pi_{N}(\mathcal{N})$ is represented by a homomorphism \[{\rm deg}: \pi_{N}(\mathcal{N}) \to…

In a closed, oriented ambient manifold $(M^n,g)$ we consider the problem of finding $\mathbb{S}^1$-valued harmonic maps with prescribed singular set. We show that the boundary of any oriented $(n-1)$-submanifold can be realised as the…

We derive a lower bound for energies of harmonic maps of convex polyhedra in $ \R^3 $ to the unit sphere $S^2,$ with tangent boundary conditions on the faces. We also establish that $C^\infty$ maps, satisfying tangent boundary conditions,…

We prove several Liouville theorems for F-harmonic maps from some complete Riemannian manifolds by assuming some conditions on the Hessian of the distance function, the degrees of F(t) and the asymptotic behavior of the map at infinity. In…

This article addresses the regularity issue for stationary or minimizing fractional harmonic maps into spheres of order $s\in(0,1)$ in arbitrary dimensions. It is shown that such fractional harmonic maps are $C^\infty$ away from a small…

We generalize the notion of calibrated submanifolds to smooth maps and show that the several examples of smooth maps appearing in the differential geometry become the examples of our situation. Moreover, we apply these notion to give the…

We study the global Lipschitz character of minimisers of the Dirichlet energy of diffeomorphisms between doubly connected domains with smooth boundaries from Riemann surfaces. The key point of the proof is the fact that minimisers are…

Let $f : U\subset\Rm \to \calQ_Q(\ell_2)$ be of Sobolev class $W^{1,p}$, $1 < p < \infty$. If $f$ almost minimizes its $p$ Dirichlet energy then $f$ is H\"older continuous. If $p=2$ and $f$ is squeeze and squash stationary then $f$ is in…
