Partial regularity for a nonlinear sigma model with gravitino in higher dimensions (Q1650894): Difference between revisions

In this well-written paper, the authors ``study the regularity problem of the nonlinear sigma model with gravitino fields in higher dimensions'', generalizing previous results in [\textit{J. Jost} et al., Commun. Math. Phys. 358, No. 1, 171--197 (2018; Zbl 1387.83108)]. In the present paper, the base (closed oriented Riemannian) manifold is assumed to be of dimension \(m\geq3\) and the foundations for the study of the nonlinear supersymmetric sigma models are well described in the introduction, with several useful references cited. After deriving the Euler-Lagrange equations (Proposition 1.1), the authors ``consider the regularity of weak solutions defined in suitable Sobolev spaces'' and show ``that any weak solution is actually smooth under some smallness assumption for certain Morrey norms'' (Theorem 1.2 and Section 2). The case of stationary solutions is discussed in the last section of the paper and some partial regularity results are obtained (Theorems 1.3 and 1.4).
