Question on Harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds

In Theory of harmonic maps, main goal is to find minimum of Dirichlet energy function which is defined as follows: $$E(f):=\frac{1}{2}\int_M\|df\|^2dvol_g\qquad f:(M,g)\to(N,h).$$ In many Books such a …

Manifold structure of the set of all smooth functions between two smooth manifolds!

In the studies of the calculus of variation, a map $f:M\to N$ said to be harmonic if it is a critical point of the Dirichlet energy function. i. e. \begin{align} E:C^\infty(M,N)&\longrightarrow \Bbb …
