Harmonic maps and asymptotic Teichmüller space (Q2457905)

The asymptotic behavior of the Beltrami coefficient of a harmonic mapping is studied and certain compactness properties of harmonic maps are established. It is shown that if \(f\) is a quasiconformal harmonic diffeomorphism between two Riemann surfaces and homotopic to an asymptotically conformal map modulo boundary, then \(f\) is asymptotically conformal itself.
