    A stochastic approach to a priori estimates and Liouville theorems for harmonic maps (English)
    11 November 2011
    Liouville-type theorems (i.e. all harmonic maps \(u\) in a certain mapping class are necessarily constant, under certain curvature conditions on domain and target) are obtained using the nonlinear derivative formula from [\textit{M. Arnaudon} and \textit{A. Thalmaier}, J. Math. Pures Appl., IX. Sér. 77, No. 3, 283--315 (1998; Zbl 0916.58045)]. The approach is a probabilistic one.
