ABSTRACT
Abstract. This is an addendum to the recent Cambridge Tract "Harmonic maps between Riemannian polyhedra", by J. Eells and the present author. Hï¿½lder continuity of locally energy minimizing maps RMULA> from an admissible Riemannian polyhedron X to a complete geodesic space Y is established here in two cases: (1) Y is simply connected and has curvature $\leq 0$ (in the sense of A.D. Alexandrov), or (2) Y is locally compact and has curvature $\leq1$, say, and $\phi(X)$ is contained in a convex ball in Y satisfying bi-point uniqueness and of radius $R<\pi/2$ (best possible). With Y a Riemannian polyhedron, and $R<\pi/4$ in case (2), this was established in the book mentioned above, though with Hï¿½lder continuity taken in a weaker, pointwise sense. For X a Riemannian manifold the stated results are due to N.J. Korevaar and R.M. Schoen, resp. T. Serbinowski.

We consider leaf preserving maps between manifolds equipped with Riemannian foliations. We construct a transversal tension field for such maps. Then we introduce the notion of transversally harmonic maps. In the last section of the paper we present some examples of transversally harmonic maps.

For an arbitrary Dirac-harmonic map ( f,?) between compact oriented Riemannian surfaces, we shall study the zeros of | ?|. With the aid of Bochner-type formulas, we explore the relationship between the order of the zeros of | ?| and the genus of M and N. On the basis, we could clarify all of...
