We prove the regularity of weak 1/2-harmonic maps from the real line into a sphere. The key point in our result is first a formulation of the 1/2-harmonic map equation in the form of a non-local linear Schr\"odinger type equation with a…

We consider finite energy equivariant solutions for the wave map problem from R2+1 to S2 which are close to the soliton family. We prove asymptotic orbital stability for a codimension two class of initial data which is small with respect to…

The eigenfamilies of Gudmundsson and Sakovich can be used to generate harmonic morphisms, proper $r$-harmonic maps, and minimal co-dimension $2$ submanifolds. This article begins by characterising the globally defined eigenfamilies of the…

In this paper, we first study the $\alpha-$energy functional, Euler-Lagrange operator and $\alpha$-stress energy tensor. Second, it is shown that the critical points of $\alpha-$ energy functional are explicitly related to harmonic maps…

The notions of bienergy of a smooth mapping and of biharmonic map between Riemannian manifolds are extended to the case when the domain is Finslerian. We determine the first and the second variation of the bienergy functional, the equations…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, and let $G$ be a compact simple Lie group with bi-invariant metric that is not $\operatorname{Sp}(n)$ for $n \geq 8$, $E_{8}$, $F_{4}$, or $G_{2}$. We show that the singular set of any stable…

For a Riemannian polyhedra, we study the geometry of the unit ball for the unidimensional stable norm (stable ball). In the case of a unidimensional Riemannian polyhedra (graph), we show that the stable ball is a polytope whose vertices are…

We consider polyharmonic maps $\phi:(M,g)\rightarrow $\mathbb{E}^n$ of order k from a complete Riemannian manifold into the Euclidean space and let $p$ be a real constant satisfying $1<p<\infty$. (i) If, $\int_M|W^{k-1}|^p dv_g<\infty,$ and…

We present statistical biharmonic maps, a new class of mappings between statistical manifolds naturally derived from a variation problem. We give the Euler-Lagrange equation of this problem and prove that improper affine hyperspheres induce…

We prove oscillation stability for the Banach space $\ell_\infty$: every weak-* Borel, uniformily continuous map from the unit sphere of this space to a compact metric space can be made arbitrarily close to a constant map when restricted to…

We prove a discreteness result for the possible orders of harmonic maps from surfaces to Euclidean buildings; in particular for a building of type $W$ the order is of the form $\frac mk$ where $k$ divides $|W|$. This generalizes, in the…

We give a sufficient condition for the abstract basin of attraction of a sequence of holomorphic self-maps of balls in \mathbb{C}^{d} to be biholomorphic to \mathbb{C}^{d}. As a consequence, we get a sufficient condition for the stable…

In this paper, we construct round fold maps or stable fold maps with concentric singular value sets introduced by the author on smooth bundles over spheres or bundles over more general manifolds. The class of round fold maps includes…

A global weak solution of the biharmonic wave map equation in the energy space for spherical targets is constructed. The equation is reformulated as a conservation law and solved by a suitable Ginzburg-Landau type approximation.

In this paper, we develop a loop group description of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ ``of finite uniton type", from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type. This develops work of…

In this paper, we first prove that a quadratic form from $\mathbb{S}^m$ to $\mathbb{S}^n$ is non-harmonic biharmonic if and only if it has constant energy density $(m+1)/2$. Then, we give a positive answer to an open problem concerning the…

It is proved some results about existence and non existence of unit normal sections of submanifolds of the Euclidean space and sphere which associated Gauss maps are harmonic. Some applications to CMC hypersurfaces of the sphere and…

We study time and space equivariant wave maps from $M\times\RR\rightarrow S^2,$ where $M$ is diffeomorphic to a two dimensional sphere and admits an action of SO(2) by isometries. We assume that metric on $M$ can be written as…

For any $n$-dimensional compact spin Riemannian manifold $M$ with a given spin structure and a spinor bundle $\Sigma M$, and any compact Riemannian manifold $N$, we show an $\epsilon$-regularity theorem for weakly Dirac-harmonic maps . As a…

We show that $J-$ stability is open and dense in natural families of meromorphic maps of one complex variable with a finite number of singular values, and even more generally, to finite type maps. This extends the results of…
