Dirac-harmonic maps

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We introduce a functional that couples the nonlinear sigma model with a spinor field: L=intM[|dphi|2+(psi,Dpsi)]. In two dimensions, it is conformally invariant. The critical points of this functional are called Dirac-harmonic maps. We study some geometric and analytic aspects of such maps, in particular a removable singularity theorem.
