The Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps from the disk into a sphere.

The Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps from the disk into the 2-sphere is a natural, non-linear, generalization of the classical Dirichlet problem. In this context, harmonic maps arise as critical points of the energy functional. For any boundary condition, γ: ∂D to S², the space of extensions of m...
