Abstract: We investigate a parabolic-elliptic system for maps $(u,v)$ from a compact Riemann surface $M$ into a Lorentzian manifold $NimesmathbbR$ with a warped product metric. That system turns the harmonic map type equations into a parabolic system, but keeps the $v$-equation as a nonlinear second order constraint along the flow. We prove a global existence result of the parabolic-elliptic system by assuming either some geometric conditions on the target Lorentzian manifold or small energy of the initial maps. The result implies the existence of a Lorentzian harmonic map in a given homotopy class with fixed boundary data.

Review text

In this note under review, the authors give a parabolic-elliptic system for maps from a compact Riemann surface into a Lorentzian manifold with a warped product metric. They show that system turns the harmonic map type equations into a parabolic system, but keeps the v-equation as a nonlinear second-order constraint along the flow. They also prove a global existence result of the parabolic-elliptic system and show that this result implies the existence of a Lorentzian harmonic map in a given homotopy class with fixed boundary data.
