Talk:Harmonic map

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have disengaged the article "Harmonic map" from its redirection to "Harmonic function". As the new article shows, these two concepts are not just mere synonyms in different contexts, but harmonic maps form a mathematical field of investigation in its own right (harmonic functions being just one example among several others), and therefore deserves an article on its own.

Despite the common word "harmonic", harmonic maps don't have much to do with harmonic analysis, so I've reverted Oleg's inclusion of the article into the "Harmonic analysis" category. Mathanor 08:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Cool. I am not an expert, really. I just thought that was appropriate since harmonic functions are a particular case of harmonic maps, as you say yourself in the aritcle. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
