Partial regularity of harmonic maps from a Riemannian manifold into a Lorentzian manifold

##### Abstract

We study the partial regularity theorem for stationary harmonic maps from a Riemannian manifold into a Lorentzian manifold. For a weakly stationary harmonic map $\left(u,v\right)$ from a smooth bounded open domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^{m}$ to a Lorentzian manifold with Dirichlet boundary condition, we prove that it is smooth outside a closed set whose $\left(m-2\right)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure is zero. Moreover, if the target manifold $N$ does not admit any harmonic spheres ${S}^{l}$, $l=2,\dots ,m-1$, we show $\left(u,v\right)$ is smooth.
