Abstract: We give new estimates for a critical elliptic system introduced by Rivi`ere-Struwe in cite{riviere_struwe} (see also the work of Rupflin cite{rupflin} and Schikorra cite{schikorra_frames}), which generalises PDE solved by harmonic (and almost harmonic) maps from a Euclidean ball B1InRn into Riemannian manifolds. Solutions take the form -Dl u = Om.D u where Om is an anti-symmetric potential with Om and Du belonging to the Morrey space M2,n2 making the PDE critical from a regularity perspective (classical theory gives one estimates on Du in the weak-Morrey space M(2,infty),n2, see Sections ef{adams_decay} and ef{Morrey} for definitions if necessary). We use the Coulomb frame method employed in cite{riviere_struwe} along with the H"older regularity already acquired in cite{rupflin}, coupled with an extension of a Riesz potential estimate of Adams cite{adams_riesz} in order to attain estimates on D2uinMs,n2 for any s<2. These methods apply when n=2 thereby re-proving the full regularity in this case (see cite{Sh_To}) using Coulomb gauge methods. Moreover they lead to a self contained proof of the local regularity of stationary harmonic maps in high dimension (see Corollary ef{highint}).
