Harmonic Maps with Prescribed Singularities on Unbounded Domains

Abstract

The Einstein/Abelian-Yang-Mills Equations reduce in the stationary and axially symmetric case to a harmonic map with prescribed singularities $\p\colon\R^3\smΣ\to\H^{k+1}_\C$ into the $(k+1)$-dimensional complex hyperbolic space. In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of harmonic maps with prescribed singularities $\p\colon\R^n\smΣ\to\H$, where $\Sigma$ is an unbounded smooth closed submanifold of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ of codimension at least $2$, and $\H$ is a real, complex, or quaternionic hyperbolic space. As a corollary, we prove the existence of solutions to the reduced stationary and axially symmetric Einstein/Abelian-Yang-Mills Equations.
