Royden Decomposition for Harmonic Maps with Finite Total Energy

Results in Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We prove the harmonic map version of the Royden decomposition in the sense that given any bounded C 1-map f with finite total energy on a complete Riemannian manifold into a Cartan-Hadamard manifold, there exists a unique bounded harmonic map with finite total energy from the manifold into the Cartan-Hadamard manifold taking the same boundary value at each harmonic boundary point as that of f.
