Abstract: In this article, we investigate the regularity for certain elliptic systems without a $L^2$-antisymmetric structure. As applications, we prove some $epsilon$-regularity theorems for weakly harmonic maps from the unit ball $B=B(m)subsetmathbb{R}^m$ $(mgeq2)$ into certain pseudo-Riemannian manifolds: standard stationary Lorentzian manifolds, pseudospheres $mathbb{S}_u^{n}subsetmathbb{R}_u^{n+1}$ $(1lequleqn)$ and pseudohyperbolic spaces $mathbb{H}_u^{n}subsetmathbb{R}_{u+1}^{n+1}$ $(0lequleqn-1)$. Consequently, such maps are shown to be H"{o}lder continuous (and as smooth as the regularity of the targets permits) in dimension $m=2$. In particular, we prove that any weakly harmonic map from a disc into the De-Sitter space $mathbb{S}_1^n$ or the Anti-de-Sitter space $mathbb{H}_1^n$ is smooth. Also, we give an alternative proof of the H"{o}lder continuity of any weakly harmonic map from a disc into the Hyperbolic space $mathbb{H}^n$ without using the fact that the target is nonpositively curved. Moreover, we extend the notion of generalized (weakly) harmonic maps from a disc into the standard sphere $mathbb{S}^n$ to the case that the target is $mathbb{S}_u^n$ $(1lequleqn)$ or $mathbb{H}_u^n$ $(0lequleqn-1)$, and obtain some $epsilon$-regularity results for such generalized (weakly) harmonic maps.
