Integrability of rotationally symmetric \(n\)-harmonic maps (Q860620)

A rotationally symmetric \(n\)-harmonic map is a rotationally symmetric \(p\)-harmonic map between two \(n\)-dimensional model spaces such that \(p=n\). It is well-known that the \(p\)-harmonic maps (\(p\geq 2\)) are the solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations associated with \(p\)-energy. In this paper, the authors prove that rotationally symmetric \(n\)-harmonic maps can be integrated and are \(n\)-harmonic diffeomorphisms, and apply such results to investigate the asymptotic behaviors of these maps. The authors also derive this integrability by using Lie theory.
