[For the entire collection see Zbl 0707.00015.] The author considers harmonic maps from \((n+1)\)-dimensional Minkowski space \(M^{n+1}\) into a Riemannian manifold \(N^ m\) which are by definition critical points of the corresponding energy integrals, thus satisfying a semilinear wave-equation, and it is known that there are harmonic maps which develop singularities in finite time. The author now studies the spherically symmetric case and shows that if a harmonic map develops singularities in the first derivatives in finite time, then the singularities appear at the origin end the growth rate of the solution and its derivatives can be controlled.
