Harmonic maps between noncompact manifolds. (English) Zbl 1362.58012
Summary: We describe the problem of finding a harmonic map between noncompact manifold. Given some sufficient conditions on the domain, the target and the initial map, we prove the existence of a harmonic map that deforms the given map.
