Abstract<br />

In this master thesis we study harmonic maps and investigate how they arise from certain<br />

holomorphic maps into loop groups via the DPW method using the concept of Riemannian<br />

symmetric spaces. The approach to this method uses a lot of algebraic group theory<br />

which turns out to be much simpler than solving the corresponding harmonic differential<br />

equations analytically. We describe how the process of adding a uniton in these loop<br />

groups works, and we will observe that this leads us to a method where we can construct<br />

new harmonic maps from old ones. By introducing harmonic maps of finite uniton number<br />

we will be able to classify harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces into certain symmetric<br />

spaces. We shall in particularly be interested in developing a procedure to construct harmonic<br />

maps into a Grassmannian. We introduce another class of harmonic maps, namely<br />

harmonic maps of finite <strong>type</strong> arising from a certain class of constant holomorphic potentials<br />

in the DPW approach. Following Pacheco as in [14] we finally study harmonic maps<br />

which are simultaneously of finite <strong>type</strong> and of finite uniton number, and show that such<br />

harmonic maps from a torus into CP n are constant maps. Furthermore we discuss some<br />

generalisations of this result.<br />

Resumé<br />

I denne specialerapport studerer vi harmoniske <strong><strong>af</strong>bildninger</strong> <strong>og</strong> undersøger, hvordan de<br />

genereres fra holomorfe <strong><strong>af</strong>bildninger</strong> i løkkegrupper fra DPW-metoden ved brug <strong>af</strong> Riemannsk<br />

symmetriske rum. Tilgangen til denne metode gør brug <strong>af</strong> en del algebraisk gruppeteori,<br />

hvilket viser sig at være væsentligt lettere end at skulle løse de tilhørende harmoniske<br />

differentialligninger analytisk. Vi beskriver processen, hvorved en uniton tillægges i disse<br />

løkkegrupper <strong>og</strong> observerer, at dette giver os en metode, hvor vi kan konstruere nye harmoniske<br />

<strong><strong>af</strong>bildninger</strong> fra en oprindelig harmonisk <strong>af</strong>bildning. Vi introducerer harmoniske<br />

<strong><strong>af</strong>bildninger</strong> <strong>med</strong> <strong>endelig</strong>t unitontal, hvilket gør os i stand til at klassificere harmoniske<br />

<strong><strong>af</strong>bildninger</strong> fra Riemannflader til forskellige <strong>type</strong>r <strong>af</strong> symmetriske rum. Vi skal primært<br />

være interesserede i en metode til at konstruere harmoniske <strong><strong>af</strong>bildninger</strong> ind i en Grassmann<br />

mangfoldighed. Vi introducerer en anden klasse <strong>af</strong> harmoniske <strong><strong>af</strong>bildninger</strong> - nemlig<br />

harmoniske <strong><strong>af</strong>bildninger</strong> <strong>af</strong> <strong>endelig</strong> <strong>type</strong>, som værende harmoniske <strong><strong>af</strong>bildninger</strong> genereret <strong>af</strong><br />

holomorfe potentialer fra DPW-metoden, der har en bestemt, konstant form. Ved at følge<br />

Pacheco som i [14] vil vi <strong>endelig</strong>t studerere harmoniske <strong>af</strong>bldninger, som både er <strong>af</strong> <strong>endelig</strong><br />

<strong>type</strong> <strong>og</strong> har <strong>endelig</strong>t unitontal <strong>og</strong> vise, at disse harmoniske <strong><strong>af</strong>bildninger</strong> fra en torus til<br />

CP n er konstante <strong><strong>af</strong>bildninger</strong>. Efterfølgende diskuterer vi n<strong>og</strong>le generaliseringer <strong>af</strong> dette<br />

resultat.<br />
