\section{Introduction}

For integers $m,n \ge 2$, let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^m$ be an open
domain, and let $\mathbb{S}^{n - 1} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ denote the $(n - 1)$-dimensional
unit sphere. Define the space
\[
  H^1(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^{n - 1}) = \set{v \in H^1(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n)}{|v| = 1 \mbox{ almost
  everywhere}},
\]
and consider the functional
\[
  E(u) = \frac{1}{2} \int_\Omega |\nabla u|^2 \, dx, \quad u \in H^1(\Omega,
  \mathbb{S}^{n - 1}).
\]
A map $u \in H^1(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})$ is called a weakly harmonic map, if it
is a critical point of $E$, i.~e.\
\[
  \frac{d}{dt}\Big|_{t = 0} E\big(\frac{u + t\phi}{|u + t \phi|}\big)
  = 0
\]
for all $\phi \in C_0^\infty(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n)$. The Euler-Lagrange equation for
this variational problem is
\begin{equation} \label{EL}
  \Delta u + |\nabla u|^2 u = 0 \quad \mbox{in } \Omega
\end{equation}
(in the distributions sense). Denote by $\wedge$ the exterior product $\wedge :
\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n \to \Lambda_2 \mathbb{R}^n$, then (\ref{EL}) is equivalent to
\begin{equation} \label{EL2}
  \mathop{\rm div} (u \wedge \nabla u) = 0 \quad \mbox{in } \Omega.
\end{equation}
This form of the equation provides a natural extension of the notion of weakly
harmonic maps into spheres. Whereas we need a map in $H_\mathrm{loc}^1(\Omega,
\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})$ to make any sense of (\ref{EL}), the equation (\ref{EL2}) only
requires
\[
  u \in W_\mathrm{loc}^{1,1}(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})
  = \set{v \in W_\mathrm{loc}^{1,1}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n)}{|v| = 1 \mbox{ almost everywhere}}.
\]
A map in this space satisfying (\ref{EL2}) is called a generalized harmonic map.



 For $m = 2$, it was proven by H\'elein \cite{helein90,helein91}, that
any weakly harmonic map is smooth (also for more general target manifolds than
spheres). For higher dimensions, this is no longer true. Indeed Rivi\`ere
\cite{riviere95} constructed a weakly harmonic map in three dimensions which
is discontinuous everywhere. But there exists an $\epsilon$-regularity result,
due to Evans \cite{evans91} (and to Bethuel \cite{bethuel93} for more general
targets), which can be stated as follows.

\begin{theorem} \label{thme}
There exists a number $\epsilon > 0$, depending only on $m$ and $n$, such that
any weakly harmonic map $u \in H^1(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})$ with the property
$[u]_{\mathrm{BMO}(\Omega)} \le \epsilon$ is smooth in $\Omega$.
\end{theorem}

Here we use the notation
\begin{equation} \label{er}
  [u]_{\mathrm{BMO}(\Omega)} = \sup_{B_r(x_0) \subset \Omega} \, \intbar_{B_r(x_0)}
  |u - \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)}| \, dx,
\end{equation}
where $B_r(x_0)$ denotes the ball in $\mathbb{R}^m$ with centre $x_0$ and radius $r$,
and
\[
  \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)} = \intbar_{B_r(x_0)} u \, dx = \frac{1}{|B_r(x_0)|}
  \int_{B_r(x_0)} u \, dx.
\]
Together with the well-known monotonicity formula for so-called stationary
weakly harmonic maps, e.~g.\ weakly harmonic maps which satisfy
$\frac{d}{dt}|_{t = 0} E(u(x + t \psi(x))) = 0$ for all $\psi \in
C_0^\infty(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^m)$ (see Price \cite{price83}), one concludes that weakly
harmonic maps with this property are smooth away from a closed singular set of
vanishing $(m - 2)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure.

Generalized harmonic maps on the other hand may have singularities even in
two dimensions. A typical example is the map $u(x) = x/|x|$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$.
For $m = 2$ and for any $p \in [1,2)$, Almeida \cite{almeida95} even
constructed generalized harmonic maps in $W^{1,p}(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^1)$ which are
nowhere continuous. Nevertheless, there is an $\epsilon$-regularity result
for generalized harmonic maps in two dimensions, due to Almeida
\cite{almeida95}. (Another proof was given by Ge \cite{ge99}.)

\begin{theorem}
For $m = 2$, there exists $\epsilon > 0$, depending only on $n$, such that
any weakly harmonic map $u \in W_\mathrm{loc}^{1,1}(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})$ with the
property $\|\nabla u\|_{L^{2,\infty}(\Omega)} \le \epsilon$ is smooth in
$\Omega$.
\end{theorem}

Here $\|\cdot\|_{L^{2,\infty}(\Omega)}$ is the norm of the Lorentz space
$L^{2,\infty}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^{m \times n})$. (For a definition and properties of
Lorentz spaces, see e.~g.\ \cite{steinweiss71}, Chapter V.)



\section{Results}

 The aim of this note is to extend and improve this result. We replace
the smallness in the $L^{2,\infty}$-norm by a weaker condition (reminding of
Theorem \ref{thme}), and we prove the result for all dimensions. More precisely,
we have the following theorem.

\begin{theorem} \label{thm1}
There exist $p < 2$ and $\epsilon > 0$, depending only on $m$ and $n$, such that
any generalized harmonic map $u \in W_\mathrm{loc}^{1,p}(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})$ with the
property $[u]_{\mathrm{BMO}(\Omega)} \le \epsilon$ is in $C^\infty(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})$.
\end{theorem}

 To prove this theorem, it suffices to show that under these
conditions, the generalized harmonic map $u$ is in $H_\mathrm{loc}^1(\Omega,
\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})$. Higher regularity is then implied by Theorem \ref{thme}
(provided that $\epsilon$ is chosen accordingly). For this first step
on the other hand, we can also admit a non-vanishing right hand side in
(\ref{EL2}).

\begin{theorem} \label{thm2}
For any $q > 2$, there exist $p < 2$ and $\epsilon > 0$, depending only on $m$,
$n$, and $q$, with the following property. Suppose that $u \in
W_\mathrm{loc}^{1,p}(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})$ is a distributional solution of
\begin{equation} \label{nh}
  \mathop{\rm div}(u \wedge \nabla u) = F + \mathop{\rm div} G,
\end{equation}
where $F \in L_\mathrm{loc}^{mq/(m + q)}(\Omega,\Lambda_2 \mathbb{R}^n)$ and $G \in
L_\mathrm{loc}^q(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^m \otimes \Lambda_2 \mathbb{R}^n)$. If $[u]_{\mathrm{BMO}(\Omega)} \le
\epsilon$, then $u \in W_\mathrm{loc}^{1,p/(p - 1)}(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})$.
\end{theorem}

 As mentioned above, Theorem \ref{thm1} is an immediate consequence
of Theorem \ref{thme} and Theorem \ref{thm2}. The proof of the latter is
inspired by the inverse H\"older inequality technique used by Iwaniec--Sbordone
\cite{iwaniecsbordone94} to prove regularity for solutions of equations of the
form
\[
  \mathop{\rm div} A(x,\nabla u) = F + \mathop{\rm div} G,
\]
where $A(x,\xi) = \frac{\partial\mathcal{F}}{\partial\xi}(x,\xi)$ for a
quasi-convex function $\mathcal{F}$ (satisfying certain conditions). We combine
these methods with arguments from the regularity theory for weakly harmonic
maps.

We will use the following well-known results. The first one is due to
Gia\-quin\-ta--Modica \cite{giaquintamodica79}.

\begin{proposition} \label{prop1}
For $1 < a < b$, and for some ball $B_R(x_0) \subset \mathbb{R}^m$, suppose that
$g \in L^a(B_R(x_0))$ and $f \in L^b(B_R(x_0))$ are non-negative
functions which satisfy
\[
  \intbar_{B_{r/2}(x_1)} g^a \, dx \le A\Big[\Big(\intbar_{B_r(x_1)}
  g \, dx\Big)^a + \intbar_{B_r(x_1)} f^a \, dx\Big]
  + \theta \intbar_{B_r(x_1)} g^a \, dx
\]
for every ball $B_r(x_1) \subset B_R(x_0)$ and for certain constants 
$A,\theta> 0$. There exists a constant $\theta_0 = \theta_0(m,a,b) > 0$, 
such that
whenever $\theta < \theta_0$, then $g \in L^c(B_{R/2}(x_0))$ with
\[
  \Big(\intbar_{B_{R/2}(x_0)} g^c \, dx\Big)^{1/c}
  \le B \Big[\Big(\intbar_{B_R(x_0)} g^a \, dx\Big)^{1/a}
  + \Big(\intbar_{B_R(x_0)} f^c \, dx\Big)^{1/c}\Big]
\]
for certain numbers $c > a$ and $B > 0$, both depending only on $m$, $A$,
$\theta$, $a$, and $b$.
\end{proposition}

The following is a combination of the compensated compactness
results of Coifman--Lions--Meyer--Semmes \cite{coifmanlionsmeyersemmes93}, and
the duality of the space
$\mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb{R}^m) = \set{f \in L_\mathrm{loc}^1(\mathbb{R}^m)}{[f]_{\mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb{R}^m)} < \infty}$ with the
Hardy space $\mathcal{H}^1(\mathbb{R}^m)$. The latter is due to Fefferman--Stein
\cite{feffermanstein72}.

\begin{proposition} \label{prop2}
For $1 < p < \infty$, suppose that a function $f \in W_\mathrm{loc}^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^m)$ with
$\|\nabla f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^m)} < \infty$, a vector field $g \in L^{p/(p - 1)}(\mathbb{R}^m,
\mathbb{R}^m)$ with $\mathop{\rm div} g = 0$ in the distribution sense, and a function $h \in
\mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb{R}^m)$ are given. Then
\[
  \Big|\int_{\mathbb{R}^m} \nabla f \cdot g \, h \, dx\Big| \le
  C \|\nabla f\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^m)} \|g\|_{L^{p/(p - 1)}(\mathbb{R}^m)} [h]_{\mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb{R}^m)}
\]
for a constant $C$ which depends only on $m$ and $p$.
\end{proposition}

Having the ingredients ready, we can now prove Theorem \ref{thm2}.



\noindent{\it Proof of Theorem \ref{thm2}.}
Suppose $q > 2$, $F \in L_\mathrm{loc}^{mq/(m + q)}(\Omega,\Lambda_2 \mathbb{R}^n)$, and
$G \in L_\mathrm{loc}^q(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^m \otimes \Lambda_2 \mathbb{R}^n)$. Let for the moment $p$ be
any number in $(1,2)$, and suppose that $u \in W_\mathrm{loc}^{1,p}(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})$
is a solution of (\ref{nh}).

Let $\psi \in W_\mathrm{loc}^{2,mq/(m + q)}(\Omega,\Lambda_2\mathbb{R}^n)$ be a solution of
\[
  \Delta \psi = F \quad \mbox{in } \Omega.
\]
Then $\nabla \psi \in W_\mathrm{loc}^{1,q}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^m \otimes \Lambda_2\mathbb{R}^n)$, and
$u$ satisfies
\[
  \mathop{\rm div}(u \wedge \nabla u) = \mathop{\rm div} (G + \nabla \psi).
\]
Hence we may assume without loss of generality that $F = 0$.
Choose a ball $B_r(x_0) \subset \Omega$ and a cut-off function $\zeta \in
C_0^\infty(B_r(x_0))$ with $\zeta \equiv 1$ in $B_{r/2}(x_0)$, such that
$|\nabla \zeta| \le 4r^{-1}$. Consider the Hodge decomposition
\[
  |\nabla (\zeta(u - \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)}))|^{p - 2} \, u \wedge
  \nabla (\zeta(u - \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)})) = \nabla \phi + \Phi,
\]
where $\phi \in W_\mathrm{loc}^{1,p/(p - 1)}(\mathbb{R}^m,\Lambda_2 \mathbb{R}^n)$ and $\Phi \in
L^{p/(p - 1)}(\mathbb{R}^m,\mathbb{R}^m \otimes \Lambda_2 \mathbb{R}^n)$ have the properties
$\mathop{\rm div} \Phi = 0$ and
\[
  \|\nabla \phi\|_{L^s(\mathbb{R}^m)} + \|\Phi\|_{L^s(\mathbb{R}^m)} \le C_1
  \|\nabla (\zeta(u - \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)}))\|_{L^{(p - 1)s}(B_r(x_0))}^{p - 1}
\]
for any $s \in (\frac{1}{p - 1},\frac{p}{p - 1}]$ and for a constant $C_1 =
C_1(m,n,s)$. The existence of such a decomposition is due to Iwaniec--Martin
\cite{iwaniecmartin93}. In particular, we have
\begin{equation} \label{p2}
  \intbar_{B_r(x_0)} |\nabla \phi|^s \, dx \le C_2 \left(\intbar_{B_r(x_0)}
  |\nabla u|^s \, dx\right)^{p - 1}
\end{equation}
for a constant $C_2 = C_2(m,n,s)$, owing to the Poincar\'e and the H\"older
inequality.
Observe that
\begin{eqnarray*}
  2^{-m} \intbar_{B_{r/2}(x_0)} |\nabla u|^p \, dx
  & \le & \intbar_{B_r(x_0)} \scp{u \wedge \nabla (\zeta(u -
  \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)}))}{\nabla \phi + \Phi} \, dx \\
  & = & \intbar_{B_r(x_0)} \scp{u \wedge \nabla (\zeta(u -
  \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)}))}{\Phi} \, dx  \\
  && {} + \intbar_{B_r(x_0)} \scp{\nabla \zeta}{(u \wedge
  (u - \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)})) \cdot \nabla \phi} \, dx \\
  && {} - \intbar_{B_r(x_0)} \scp{\nabla \zeta}{(u \wedge \nabla u) \cdot
  (\phi - \bar{\phi}_{B_r(x_0)})} \, dx \\
  && {} + \intbar_{B_r(x_0)}
  \scp{G}{\nabla (\zeta (\phi - \bar{\phi}_{B_r(x_0)}))} \, dx,
\end{eqnarray*}
where we denote the standard scalar product in $\mathbb{R}^m$ and in $\mathbb{R}^m \otimes
\Lambda_2 \mathbb{R}^n$ by $\scp{\cdot}{\cdot}$, whereas we use a dot in $\mathbb{R}^n$ to
avoid confusion. We have the estimates
\begin{eqnarray*}
  \lefteqn{\intbar_{B_r(x_0)}
  \scp{\nabla \zeta}{(u \wedge (u - \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)})) \cdot \nabla \phi}
  \, dx}  \\
  & \le & \frac{4}{r}\Big(\intbar_{B_r(x_0)} |\nabla \phi|^\frac{2m}{m + 1}
  \, dx\Big)^\frac{m + 1}{2m} \Big(\intbar_{B_r(x_0)}
  |u - \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)}|^\frac{2m}{m - 1} \, dx\Big)^\frac{m - 1}{2m} \\
  & \le & C_3 \Big(\intbar_{B_r(x_0)}
  |\nabla u|^\frac{2m}{m + 1} \, dx \Big)^\frac{p(m + 1)}{2m},
\end{eqnarray*}
by (\ref{p2}) and the Sobolev inequality, and similarly
\[
  - \intbar_{B_r(x_0)} \scp{\nabla \zeta}{(u \wedge \nabla u) \cdot
  (\phi - \bar{\phi}_{B_r(x_0)})} \, dx \le C_4
  \left(\intbar_{B_r(x_0)} |\nabla u|^\frac{2m}{m + 1} \, dx
  \right)^\frac{p(m + 1)}{2m},
\]
for certain constants $C_3,C_4$ which depend only on $m$ and $n$.

Note that $[\zeta(u - \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)})]_{\mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb{R}^m)} \le C_5
[u]_{\mathrm{BMO}(B_r(x_0))}$ for a constant $C_5 = C_5(m,n)$. (This is proven in
\cite{evans91}.) Extending $\nabla u$ to $\mathbb{R}^m$ and applying Proposition
\ref{prop2}, we thus find
\begin{eqnarray*}
\lefteqn{  \intbar_{B_r(x_0)} \scp{u \wedge \nabla (\zeta(u - \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)}))}{\Phi}
  \, dx }\\
  & = & - \intbar_{B_r(x_0)} \zeta
  \scp{\nabla u \wedge (u - \bar{u}_{B_r(x_0)})}{\Phi} \, dx \\
  & \le & C_6 [u]_{\mathrm{BMO}(\Omega)} \intbar_{B_r(x_0)} |\nabla u|^p \, dx
\end{eqnarray*}
for a constant $C_6 = C_6(m,n,p)$.

Finally, choose a number $\sigma \in (2,q)$. We have
\begin{eqnarray*}
  \lefteqn{\intbar_{B_r(x_0)}
  \scp{G}{\nabla (\zeta(\phi - \bar{\phi}_{B_r(x_0)}))} \, dx}  \\
  & \le & C_7 \Big(\intbar_{B_r(x_0)} |G|^\sigma \, dx\Big)^{1/\sigma}
  \Big(\intbar_{B_r(x_0)} |\nabla \phi|^{\sigma/(\sigma - 1)}\, dx
  \Big)^\frac{\sigma - 1}{\sigma} \\
  & \le & C_8 \Big(\intbar_{B_r(x_0)} |G|^\sigma \, dx\Big)^{1/\sigma}
  \Big(\intbar_{B_r(x_0)} |\nabla u|^{\sigma/(\sigma - 1)}\, dx
  \Big)^\frac{(p - 1)(\sigma - 1)}{\sigma} \\
  & \le & C_8 \Big[\intbar_{B_r(x_0)} |G|^\sigma \, dx
  + \Big(\intbar_{B_r(x_0)} |\nabla u|^{\sigma/(\sigma - 1)}
  \, dx\Big)^\frac{p(\sigma - 1)}{\sigma} + 1\Big]
\end{eqnarray*}
(for constants $C_7,C_8$ which depend on $m$, $n$, and $\sigma$) by the H\"older
inequality, the Poincar\'e inequality, the estimate (\ref{p2}), and Young's
inequality.

Now choose $a \in (1,\min\{\frac{m + 1}{m},\frac{2(\sigma - 1)}{\sigma}\})$,
and set $b = \frac{qa}{\sigma}$. Let $\theta_0$ be the constant from
Proposition \ref{prop1} (belonging to $a$ and $b$), and choose a number $\theta
\in (0,\theta_0)$. Then the conditions of Proposition \ref{prop1} are satisfied
for any ball $B_R(x_0) \subset\subset \Omega$, for the functions
\[
  g = |\nabla u|^{p/a}, \quad f = |G|^{\sigma/a} + 1,
\]
and for a constant $A$ which depends only on $m$, $n$, and $\sigma$, provided
that $p \ge a \max\{\frac{2m}{m + 1}, \frac{\sigma}{\sigma - 1}\}$ (which is
strictly less than $2$) and $[u]_{\mathrm{BMO}(\Omega)} \le C_6^{-1} \theta$. Hence
under these conditions, there exists a number $c > a$, not depending on $p$,
such that $|\nabla u| \in L_\mathrm{loc}^{pc/a}(\Omega)$. If $2 - p$ is sufficiently
small, then $\frac{pc}{a} \ge \frac{p}{p - 1}$, and therefore $u \in
W_\mathrm{loc}^{1,p/(p - 1)}(\Omega,\mathbb{S}^{n - 1})$. This concludes the proof. \hfill $\Box$
