Abstract: Let $Sigma$ a closed $n$-dimensional manifold, $mathcalNsubsetmathbb{R}^M$ be a closed manifold, and $uin{W}^{s,fracns}(Sigma,mathcalN)$ for $sin(0,1)$. We extend the monumental work of Sacks and Uhlenbeck by proving that if $p{i}_n(mathcalN)=0$ then there exists a minimizing $W^{s,fracns}$-harmonic map homotopic to $u$. If $p{i}_n(mathcalN)eq0$, then we prove that there exists a $W^{s,fracns}$-harmonic map from $mathbb{S}^n$ to $mathcalN$ in a generating set of $p{i}_n(mathcalN)$. Since several techniques, especially Pohozaev-type arguments, are unknown in the fractional framework (in particular when $fracnseq2$ one cannot argue via an extension method), we develop crucial new tools that are interesting on their own: such as a removability result for point-singularities and a balanced energy estimate for non-scaling invariant energies. Moreover, we prove the regularity theory for minimizing $W^{s,fracns}$-maps into manifolds.
