Sufficient conditions for the existence of minimizing harmonic maps with axial symmetry in the small-average regime

Giovanni Di Fratta, Valeriy Slastikov, Arghir Zarnescu

The paper concerns the analysis of global minimizers of a Dirichlet-type energy functional defined on the space of vector fields $H^1(S,T)$, where $S$ and $T$ are surfaces of revol…
