文摘The factorization of harmonic maps from a simply-connected domain to the unitary group is studied, showing that the theory of isotropic harmonic maps is equivalent to that of 2-unitons. Furthermore, a positive answer is given to the Uhlenbeck’s conjecture on the upper bound of minimal uniton numbers.
