Abstract
Finite-energy harmonic maps from R2 into simple manifolds such as CP1 ≅ S2 or SU(2)≅ S3 are thoroughly understood. The relevant equations constitute an integrable system, the general solution of which can be written down explicitly. Such solutions may be regarded as static multi-soliton configurations in two-dimensional space. In the language of physics, these “harmonic-map” systems are known as sigma models or chiral models.
