摘要

We prove a discreteness result for the possible orders of harmonic maps from surfaces to Euclidean buildings; in particular for a building of type W the order is of the form \(\frac{m}{k}\) m k where k divides |W|. This generalizes, in the case where the domain has dimension 2, the “order gap” of Gromov and Schoen. This result follows by directly analyzing the behavior of homogeneous maps into Euclidean buildings, and then studying a related spherical billiards problem.
