On foliations, there are two kinds of harmonic maps, that is, transversally harmonic map and $(F,F')$-harmonic map which are equivalent when the foliation is minimal. In this paper, we study transversally f-harmonic and $(F,F')_f$-harmonic…

We study complete minimal graphs in HxR, which take asymptotic boundary values plus and minus infinity on alternating sides of an ideal inscribed polygon Γ in H. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the "lenghts" of the sides…

We prove that the singular set of an energy-minimizing map from Euclidean space into an $F$-connected complex is $(m-2)$-rectifiable. This strengthens the regularity result of Gromov and Schoen.

We consider the question of continuity of limit sets for sequences of geometrically finite subgroups of isometry groups of rank-one symmetric spaces, and prove analogues of classical (Kleinian) theorems in this context. In particular we…

We prove lower bounds for energy functionals of mappings from real, complex and quaternionic projective spaces to Riemannian manifolds. For real and complex projective spaces, these lower bounds are sharp, and we characterize the family of…

Effective bounds for the finite number of surjective holomorphic maps between canonically polarized compact complex manifolds of any dimension with fixed domain are proven. Both the case of a fixed target and the case of varying targets are…

A mated-CRT map is a random planar map obtained as a discretized mating of correlated continuum random trees. Mated-CRT maps provide a coarse-grained approximation of many other natural random planar map models (e.g., uniform triangulations…

Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g \geq 2$ and let $\rho$ be a maximal $\mathrm{PSL}(2, \mathbb{R}) \times \mathrm{PSL}(2, \mathbb{R})$ surface group representation. By a result of Schoen, there is a unique $\rho$-equivariant minimal…

Critical points of approximations of the Dirichlet energy \`{a} la Sacks-Uhlenbeck are known to converge to harmonic maps in a suitable sense. However, we show that not every harmonic map can be approximated by critical points of such…
