Abstract
We obtain a weak formulation of the stationarity condition for the half Dirichlet energy, which can be expressed in terms of a fractional quantity, related to the trace of the Hopf differential of the harmonic extension of the original map. As an application we show that conformal harmonic maps from the disc are precisely the harmonic extensions of stationary points of the half Dirichlet energy on the circle. We also derive a Noether theorem and a Pohozaev identity for stationary points of the half Dirichlet energy.
A Commutator estimates and fractional divergences
In this appendix we will derive some estimate for commutators, which will allow us to extend the definition of the operator
We will make use of the following function space.
Definition A.1.
Let
Remark 3.
Recall that for any
by the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality. As
Lemma A.1.
Let
Proof.
We define the action of the commutator
To prove the lemma, it will be enough to show the following estimate:
For any
By Plancherel’s identity,
Observe that if
Therefore, Young’s inequality yields
(A.2)
On the other hand, we always have
and if
(A.3)
where the second-last steps follow again from Young’s inequality. Therefore, combining (A.2) and (A.3), we obtain
This concludes the proof of the lemma. ∎
Lemma A.2.
Let
Proof.
Proceeding as in the proof of Lemma A.1, we see that it is enough to show the following estimate:
In term of Fourier coefficients, we would like to obtain a bound for
Observe that if
Thus, by Young’s inequality,
(A.8)
On the other hand, if
Thus, by Young’s inequality,
(A.9)
Next we discuss the link of the operator
For a description of
whenever the integral is well defined.
Lemma A.3.
Let
Proof.
We compute
where in the second step we interchanged the variables x and y. ∎
