Harmonic Maps with Potentials

Volker Branding

Published 2015-10-29Version 1

We study harmonic maps from surfaces coupled to a scalar and a two-form potential, which arise as critical points of the action of the full bosonic string. We investigate several analytic and geometric properties of these maps and prove an existence result by the heat flow method.
