In [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 76, 165--246 (1992; Zbl 0896.58024)], \\textit{M. Gromov} and \\textit{R. Schoen} initiated to study harmonic maps into singular spaces, and general theory of harmonic maps between singular spaces was developed by \\textit{N. J. Korevaar} and \\textit{R. M. Schoen} [Commun. Anal. Geom. 1, No. 4, 561--659 (1993; Zbl 0862.58004)], \\textit{J. Jost} [Calc. Var. Partial Differ. Equ. 2, No. 2, 173--204 (1994; Zbl 0798.58021); ibid. 5, No. 1, 1--19 (1997; Zbl 0868.31009)] and \\textit{F. H. Lin} [in: Collection of papers on geometry, analysis and mathematical physics. In honor of Professor Gu Chaohao. Singapore: World Scientific Publishing. 114--126 (1997; Zbl 1028.58019)], independently.  Let \\(\\Omega\\) be a bounded domain with smooth boundary of an \\(n\\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold \\((M, g)\\) with \\(\\operatorname{Ric}_M \\ge -K\\) for some \\(K \\ge 0\\), and let \\((X, d_X)\\) be a \\(\\mathrm{CAT}(0)\\)-space. Suppose that \\(u : \\Omega \\to X\\) is a harmonic map. Under these situations, the authors prove that,  given any ball \\(B_R(x_0)\\) with \\(B_{2R}(x_0)\\subset\\subset \\Omega\\), if \\(u(B_R(x_0))\\subset B_\\rho(p_0)\\) for some \\(p_0\\in X\\) and some \\(\\rho >0\\), then \\[ \\sup_{B_{R/2}(x_0)} \\mathrm{ Lip} u \\le C_{n, \\sqrt{K}R} \\cdot \\frac{\\rho}{R}. \\] This result gives an affirmative answer to the problem proposed in [\\textit{J. Jost}, AMS/IP Stud. Adv. Math. 8, 1--47 (1998; Zbl 0914.31006)]. Also, as an immediate application of this result, the authors obtain a Liouville-type property. Namely, let \\((M, g)\\) be a complete noncompact \\(n\\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold of nonnegative Ricci curvature,  \\((X, d_X)\\)  a \\(\\mathrm{CAT}(0)\\)-space, and \\(u : M \\to X\\) a harmonic map. If \\(u\\) satisfies sub-linear growth property for some point \\(p_0\\in X\\), then \\(u\\) must be a constant map. For the case when the target space has curvature less than or equal to \\(\\kappa\\) for some \\(\\kappa>0\\), the authors show the following \\[ \\sup_{B_{R/2}(x_0)} \\operatorname{Lip} u \\le \\frac{C_{n, \\sqrt{K}R, \\pi/(2\\sqrt{\\kappa})-\\rho}}{R}. \\]","citation":[{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1703134"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2731895"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1900907"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3903745"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3945192"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4016740"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2481034"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q626502"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2732563"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1404453"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2462263"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1169145"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3331814"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1802682"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1604980"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1237965"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2398627"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q927301"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3663717"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1327492"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4260837"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2564716"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4232746"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4299232"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1905833"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4793832"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4801245"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5444685"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5929595"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1433432"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2648011"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1424806"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1055054"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q760695"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4838145"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q483950"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1781874"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4041884"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q502246"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1702783"}]},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-03-31T20:18:24Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
