Recent Understanding in Harmonic Maps, December 6, 2012 Nov 28, 2012
Harmonic maps are mappings between Riemannian
manifolds which are critical points of the Dirichlet
energy functional. Examples of harmonic maps
include geodesics, harmonic functions, minimal
surfaces, and many others. Applications of harmonic
maps are vast, and they remain an intensely active
topic of research for both pure and applied
mathematics. This one-day event, the eighth of a
symposium series at the Graduate Center of CUNY,
aims to explore recent developments and future
directions in harmonic map theory
