Differential geometric aspects of harmonic maps (53C43)

Abstract: We extend Siu's and Sampson's celebrated rigidity results to non-compact domains. More precisely, let

M

be a smooth quasi-projective variety with universal cover

i l d e M

and let

i l d e X

be a symmetric space of non-compact type, a locally finite Euclidean building or the Weil-Petersson completion of the Teichm"uller space of a surface of genus

g

and

p

punctures with

3 g - 3 + p > 0

. Under suitable assumptions on a homomorphism

h o : p i_{1} (M) i g h t a r r o w m a t h s f I s o m (i l d e X)

, we show that there exists a

h o

-equivariant pluriharmonic map

i l d e u : i l d e M i g h t a r r o w i l d e X

of possibly infinite energy. In the case when the target is K"ahler and

m a t h s f r a n k (d i l d e u) g e q 3

at some point,

i l d e u

is holomorphic or conjugate holomorphic. This builds on previous important work by Jost-Zuo and Mochizuki. We also extend these results to the case when the target is a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded from above by a negative constant.
