Abstract: We define harmonic maps between sub-Riemannian manifolds by generalizing known definitions for Riemannian manifolds. We establish conditions when a horizontal map into a Lie group with a left-invariant group structure is a harmonic map. We show that sub-Riemannian harmonic maps can be abnormal or normal, just as sub-Riemannian geodesics. We illustrate our study by presenting the equations for harmonic maps into the Heisenberg group.
