Regularity of harmonic maps into positively curved manifolds (Q1206124)

For Riemannian manifolds \(M\) and \(N\) of dimension \(m\) and \(n\), respectively, maps minimizing \(\int_ M\sum_ i (\varphi^*g)_{ii}\), where \(g\) is the Riemannian metric on \(N\), are considered. If \(M\) is compact and \(N\) is simply connected and \(\delta\)-pinched a constant \(d(n)\) is found such that \(m\leq d(n)\) implies that every minimizing map \(M\to N\) is smooth and in general the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set is at most \(m-d(n)-1\). Sufficient conditions for which any minimizing map is constant are given.
