Review text

In this paper the author reviews some developments on the applications of harmonic mappings to the study of topology and geometry of Kähler manifolds, the important point of these developments being the strong rigidity theorem of Mostow for hyperbolic space forms and the theorem of Siu which proved by harmonic maps a strengthening of Mostow's theorem for Hermitian symmetric manifolds. The article also contains paragraphs on harmonic maps between compact Kähler manifolds and Riemannian manifolds of nonpositive Hermitian curvature, on applications of pluriharmonic maps, nonabelian Hodge theory, nonlinear Kähler groups and other rigidity theorems. The conclusion of this paper is that from the point of view of the theory of harmonic mappings two problems are to be solved: the proofs of superrigidity and how to use harmonic map techniques in proving the superrigidity for noncocompact lattices in Lie groups of real rank at least two (the existence theorem for an equivariant harmonic map is not known). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0933.00014].
