“Singular harmonic maps into singular manifolds ”
The purpose of the talk is to present a few problems and some results concerning the existence and properties of maps from a punctured plane with values in a one-dimensional singular manifold. A typical example is given by the « eight-shaped » manifold, which will be central in the talk. I will present some new results obtained in the thesis of Mehdi Trense, in particular how they convert the problems to questions on Riemann surfaces.
