We consider minimizing harmonic maps $u$ from $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ into a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$ and prove: (1) an extension to $n \geq 4$ of Almgren and Lieb's linear law. That is, if the fundamental group of the…

We present a renormalization procedure of the Dirichlet Lagrangian for maps from surfaces with or without boundary into $S^1$ and whose finite energy critical points are the $S^1-$harmonic maps with isolated singularities. We give some…

We consider harmonic maps into pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We show the removability of isolated singularities for continuous maps, i.e. that any continuous map from an open subset of R^m into a pseudo-Riemannian manifold which is two times…

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…
