Mappings that minimize area in their homotopy classes
Let /: M -> X be a continuous map from a compact connected oriented m-dimensional manifold M into a compact Riemannian manifold X.In this paper we consider the problem: does there exist a lipschitz map g: M -> X that minimizes m-dimensional mapping area (or some other parametric elliptic functional) …
