Harmonic maps with torsion

Stable Exponentially Harmonic Maps Between Finsler Manifolds

Global Existence for Wave Maps with Torsion

Wave maps (i.e. nonlinear sigma models) with torsion are considered in 2+1 dimensions. Global existence of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem is proven for certain reductions under a translation group action: invariant wave maps into general targets, and equivariant wave maps into Lie group targets. In the case of Lie group targets (i.e. chiral models), a geometrical characterization of inv...

Harmonic Maps and Biharmonic Maps

This is a survey on harmonic maps and biharmonic maps into (1) Riemannian manifolds of non-positive curvature, (2) compact Lie groups or (3) compact symmetric spaces, based mainly on my recent works on these topics.

Harmonic Maps with Fixed Singular Sets

§ 0. Introduction Here, for a smooth domain Ω in R and a compact smooth Riemannian manifold N we study a space H consisting of all harmonic maps u : Ω → N that have a singular set being a fixed compact subset Z of Ω having finite m− 3 dimensional Minkowski content. This holds if, for example, Z is m− 3 rectifiable [F, 3.2.14]. We define a suitable topology on H using Hölder norms on derivatives...
