Non-isotropic harmonic tori in complex projective spaces and configurations of points on rational or elliptic curves (Q5932150)

The paper takes a closer look on a correspondence that McIntosh found in [\textit{I. McIntosh}, Int. J. Math. 6, No. 4, 831-879 (1995; Zbl 0851.58012) and Int. J. Math. 7, No. 6, 515-520 (1996; Zbl 0871.53044)] to describe harmonic tori in complex projective spaces. It is a correspondence between the space of non-isotropic linearly full harmonic maps \(\psi:R^2\to CP^n\) of finite type, up to isometries, and that of spectral data, that is, triplets \((X,\pi,L)\) consisting of a real complete connected algebraic curve \(X\) (called the spectral curve for \(\psi\)), a rational function \(\pi\) on \(X\), and a line bundle \(L\) over \(X\), which satisfy certain conditions. In the paper under discussion, all spectral data \((X,\pi,L)\) are determined for which the spectral curve \(X\) is a smooth rational or elliptic curve. From those data, nontrivial examples of harmonic two-tori into complex projective spaces are constructed. Moreover, the author proves a criterion on the periodicity of these harmonic maps.
