Abstract:
Motivated by the works of Gu [Pure Appl. Math. 33, 727 (1980)], Ginibre and Velo [Ann. Phys. 142, 393 (1982)] on classical solutions of a two-dimensional σ model, the global existence of harmonic maps from the Minkowski plane R1,1 into Hilbert loop groups is proved. The construction of the harmonic maps strongly depends on some geometric properties of the loop groups.
