Abstract: In this paper we consider critical points of the following nonlocal energy {equation} {cal{L}}_n(u)=int_{R^n}| ({-Delta})^{n/4} u(x)|^2 dx,, {equation} where $ucolon{H}^{n/2}(R^n)ocalN,$ $calNsubset{R}^m$ is a compact $k$ dimensional smooth manifold without boundary and $n>1$ is an odd integer. Such critical points are called $n/2$-harmonic maps into $calN$. We prove that $Delt{a}^{n/2}uin{L}_{loc}^p(R^n)$ for every $pge1$ and thus $uin{C}_{loc}^{0,alpha}(R^n),.$ The local H"older continuity of $n/2$-harmonic maps is based on regularity results obtained in cite{DL1} for nonlocal Schr"odinger systems with an antisymmetric potential and on suitable {it 3-terms commutators} estimates.

Review text

The paper considers critical points (called \(n/2\) harmonic maps) of the following nonlocal energy: \(\mathcal{L}_n(u)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}|(-\Delta)^{n/4} u(x)|^2 dx\), where \(u\in H^{n/2}(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathcal{N})\), \(\mathcal{N}\subset\mathbb{R}^m\) is a compact \(k\)-dimensional smooth manifold without boundary, and \(n>1\) is an odd integer. It is proved that \((-\Delta)^{n/4} u\in L^p_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^n)\) for every \(p\geq1\), which infers \(u\in C^{0,\alpha}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^n)\), for every \(\alpha\in(0,1)\). The local Hölder continuity of \(n/2\)-harmonic maps is based on several regularity results from the habilitation paper of the author (in preparation), which are derived for nonlocal Schrödinger systems with an antisymmetric potential and on some new 3-terms commutators estimates.
