Description
From the beginning harmonic maps were studied in connection with the theory of minimal surfaces. In 1985, the authors presented a series of lectures at the University of California at San Diego on the subject of harmonic maps. Most of these lectures are collected here as Part I. Part I of the book is devoted to harmonic maps defined on Riemann surfaces. Part II was added much more recently, and comprises part of the thesis of the first author, the work of N. Korevaar and the second author, and applications to geometry by the authors. The final chapter is due to J. Jost and the second author. This book presents some of the latest research on this topic from two of the foremost researchers in the field. - from Amzon
