Cyclic properties of the harmonic sequence of surfaces in \(\mathbb{C} P^ n\) (Q1318115)

Let \(M_ g\) be a compact Riemann surface of genus \(g\) and \(f : M_ g \to \mathbb{C} P^ n\) a full harmonic map of finite isotropy order \(r\), and with harmonic sequence \(\{ f_ i \}_{i \in \mathbb{Z}}\). Several results concerning the degree of \(f_ i\) are obtained; the main theorem states the sequence \(\{\text{deg }f_ i\}_{i \in \mathbb{Z}}\) is periodic, of period \(s + 1\), where \(s + 1\) is a common divisor of \(r + 1\) and \(n + 1\). Furthermore, \(\sum^ s_{i = 0} \text{deg }f_{\ell + 1} = 0\), for all \(\ell \in \mathbb{Z}\).
