Harmonic maps with singular boundary value from complex hyperbolic spaces into rank one symmetric spaces (Q1566859): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the Dirichlet problem at infinity for proper harmonic maps from the complex hyperbolic space \(CH^m\) to a rank one symmetric space \(N\) of noncompact type with singular boundary data \(f:S^{2m-1}\to \partial_{\infty}N\). Here singular means roughly that the energy density of \(f\) may vanish somewhere, which is the case not covered by \textit{H. Donnelly} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 344, No. 2, 713-735 (1994; Zbl 0812.58020)]. Under several conditions on \(f\), it is shown that the Dirichlet problem at infinity admits a harmonic map which assumes the boundary data \(f\) continuously. The main tool in the proof is an explicit formula for the minimal positive Green function of \(CH^m\).
