Hermitian harmonic maps from complete manifolds into convex balls (Q2267572)

The author proves a Hildebrandt-Kaul-Widman type result on the existence and uniqueness of Hermitian harmonic maps from a complete Hermitian manifold into convex balls. In addition to the typical assumptions, the new assumptions include \(L^\infty\)-boundedness of the vector field \(V\) defined by \(\widetilde\Delta u-\Delta u=\langle V,\nabla u\rangle\), where \(\widetilde\Delta u= h^{\alpha\overline\beta}{\partial^2 u\over\partial z^k\partial z^{\overline\beta}}\) and \(\Delta\) is the ordinary Laplacian.
