Recent developments extend much of the known theory of classical harmonic maps between smooth Riemannian manifolds to the case when the target is a metric space of curvature bounded from above. In particular, the existence and regularity theorems for harmonic maps into these singular spaces have been successfully generalized. Furthermore, the uniqueness of harmonic maps is known when the domain has a boundary (with a smallness of image condition if the target curvature is bounded from above by a positive number). In this paper, we will address the question of uniqueness when the domain space is without a boundary in two cases: one, when the curvature of the target is strictly negative and two, for a map between surfaces with nonpositive target curvature.

AbstractIn this paper we study an analog of minimal surfaces called Weyl-minimal surfaces in conformal manifolds with a Weyl connection (M4, c, D). We show that there is an Eells-Salamon type correspondence between nonvertical 𝒥-holomorphic curves in the weightless twistor space and branched Weyl-minimal surfaces. When (M, c, J) is conformally almost-Hermitian, there is a canonical Weyl connection. We show that for the canonical Weyl connection, branched Weyl-minimal surfaces satisfy the adjunction inequality\chi \left( {{T_f}\sum } \right) + \chi \left( {{N_f}\sum } \right) \le \pm {c_1}\left( {f*{T^{\left( {1,0} \right)}}M} \right).The ±J-holomorphic curves are automatically Weyl-minimal and satisfy the corresponding equality. These results generalize results of Eells-Salamon and Webster for minimal surfaces in Kähler 4-manifolds as well as their extension to almost-Kähler 4-manifolds by Chen-Tian, Ville, and Ma.
