Abstract:
By the generalized Do Carmo-Wallach classification theorem polynomial harmonic maps between spheres can be parametrized by a finite-dimensional compact convex body. Here we describe the boundary of the parameter space in the first nonrigid range by exhibiting a large number of quadratic harmonic maps of ${S^3}$ into spheres.References
