The immersion of the string world sheet, regarded as a Riemann surface, in $R^3$ and $R^4$ is described by the generalized Gauss map. When the Gauss map is harmonic or equivalently for surfaces of constant mean curvature, we obtain Hitchins self-dual equations, by using $SO(3)$ and $SO(4)$ gauge fields constructed in our earlier studies. This complements our earlier result that $hsurd g = 1$ surfaces exhibit Virasaro symmetry. The self-dual system so obtained is compared with self-dual Chern-Simons system and a generalized Liouville equation involving extrinsic geometry is obtained. The immersion in $R^n, n>4$ is described by the generalized Gauss map. It is shown that when the Gauss map is harmonic, the mean curvature of the immersed surface is constant. $SO(n)$ gauge fields are constructed from the geometry of the surface and expressed in terms of the Gauss map. It is found Hitchins self- duality relations for the gauge group $SO(2)times SO(n-2)$.

Motivated by a class of near BPS Skyrme models introduced by Adam, Sanchez-Guillen and Wereszczynski, the following variant of the harmonic map problem is introduced: a map $phi:(M,g)rightarrow (N,h)$ between Riemannian manifolds is restricted harmon
ic (RH) if it locally extremizes $E_2$ on its $SDiff(M)$ orbit, where $SDiff(M)$ denotes the group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms of $(M,g)$, and $E_2$ denotes the Dirichlet energy. It is conjectured that near BPS skyrmions tend to RH maps in the BPS limit. It is shown that $phi$ is RH if and only if $phi^*h$ has exact divergence, and a linear stability theory of RH maps is developed, whence it follows that all weakly conformal maps, for example, are stable RH. Examples of RH maps in every degree class $R^3to SU(2)$ and $R^2to S^2$ are constructed. It is shown that the axially symmetric BPS skyrmions on which all previous analytic studies of near BPS Skyrme models have been based, are not RH, so each such field can be deformed along $SDiff(R^3)$ to yield BPS skyrmions with lower $E_2$, casting doubt on the predictions of such studies. The problem of minimizing $E_2$ for $phi:R^kto N$ over all linear volume preserving diffeomorphisms is solved explicitly, and a deformed axially symmetric family of Skyrme fields constructed which are candidates for approximate near BPS skyrmions at low baryon number. The notion of restricted harmonicity is generalized to restricted $F$-criticality where $F$ is any functional on maps $(M,g)to (N,h)$ which is, in a precise sense, geometrically natural. The case where $F$ is a linear combination of $E_2$ and $E_4$, the usual Skyrme term, is studied in detail, and it is shown that inverse stereographic projection $R^3to S^3equiv SU(2)$ is stable restricted $F$-critical for every such $F$.
$alpha$-Dirac-harmonic maps are variations of Dirac-harmonic maps, analogous to $alpha$-harmonic maps that were introduced by Sacks-Uhlenbeck to attack the existence problem for harmonic maps from surfaces. For $alpha >1$, the latter are known to sat
isfy a Palais-Smale condtion, and so, the technique of Sacks-Uhlenbeck consists in constructing $alpha$-harmonic maps for $alpha >1$ and then letting $alpha to 1$. The extension of this scheme to Dirac-harmonic maps meets with several difficulties, and in this paper, we start attacking those. We first prove the existence of nontrivial perturbed $alpha$-Dirac-harmonic maps when the target manifold has nonpositive curvature. The regularity theorem then shows that they are actually smooth. By $varepsilon$-regularity and suitable perturbations, we can then show that such a sequence of perturbed $alpha$-Dirac-harmonic maps converges to a smooth nontrivial $alpha$-Dirac-harmonic map.
In this paper, we investigate representations of links that are either centrally symmetric in $mathbb{R}^3$ or antipodally symmetric in $mathbb{S}^3$. By using the notions of antipodally self-dual and antipodally symmetric maps, introduced and studie
d by the authors, we are able to present sufficient combinatorial conditions for a link $L$ to admit such representations. The latter naturally arises sufficient conditions for $L$ to be amphichiral. We also introduce another (closely related) method yielding again to sufficient conditions for $L$ to be amphichiral. We finally prove that a link $L$, associated to a map $G$, is amphichiral if the self-dual pairing of $G$ is not one of 6 specific ones among the classification of the 24 self-dual pairing $Cor(G) rhd Aut(G)$.
We reconsider the renormalizability of topological Yang-Mills field theories in (anti-)self-dual Landau gauges. By employing algebraic renormalization techniques we show that there is only one independent renormalization. Moreover, due to the rich se
t of Ward identities, we are able to obtain some important exact features of the (connected and one-particle irreducible) two-point functions. Specifically, we show that all two-point functions are tree-level exact.
Higher Spin Gravities are scarce, but covariant actions for them are even scarcer. We construct covariant actions for contractions of Chiral Higher Spin Gravity that represent higher spin extensions of self-dual Yang-Mills and self-dual Gravity theor
ies. The actions give examples of complete higher spin theories both in flat and (anti)-de Sitter spaces that feature gauge and gravitational interactions. The actions are based on a new description of higher spin fields, whose origin can be traced to early works on twistor theory. The new description simplifies the structure of interactions. In particular, we find a covariant form of the minimal gravitational interaction for higher spin fields both in flat and anti-de Sitter space, which resolves some of the puzzles in the literature.
