A remark on generalized harmonic maps into spheres. (English) Zbl 0932.35071

Two known theorems on generalized harmonic maps are proved in a new direct way using a improved Wente’s inequality, which is also proved in this paper. With help of this inequality the regularity of a generalized harmonic map on spheres is shown, a uniqueness theorem for the harmonic map is proved and finally an \(\varepsilon\)-condition for the harmonic map is found. Some of the theorems are also generalized on compact manifolds.
