In this paper we consider approximations introduced by Sacks-Uhlenbeck of the harmonic energy for maps from $S^2$ into $S^2$. We continue the analysis in [6] about limits of $alpha$-harmonic maps with uniformly bounded energy. Using a recent energy identity in [7], we obtain an optimal gap theorem for the $alpha$-harmonic maps of degree $-1, 0$ or $1$.
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 perturbed energi
In 1997, J. Jost [27] and F. H. Lin [39], independently proved that every energy minimizing harmonic map from an Alexandrov space with curvature bounded from below to an Alexandrov space with non-positive curvature is locally Holder continuous. In [3
The absence of interesting harmonic sections for the Sasaki and Cheeger-Gromoll metrics has led to the consideration of alternatives, for example in the form of a two-parameter family of natural metrics shown to relax existence conditions for harmoni
We propose a new notion called emph{infinity-harmonic maps}between Riemannain manifolds. These are natural generalizations of the well known notion of infinity harmonic functions and are also the limiting case of $p$% -harmonic maps as $pto infty $.
In this paper, we will show the Yaus gradient estimate for harmonic maps into a metric space $(X,d_X)$ with curvature bounded above by a constant $kappa$, $kappageq0$, in the sense of Alexandrov. As a direct application, it gives some Liouville theor
