Abstract:
In this paper, we will study the partial regularity for stationary Dirac-harmonic maps with λ−curvature term. For a weakly stationary Dirac-harmonic map with λ−curvature term (ϕ,ψ) from a smooth bounded open domain Ω ⊂ ℝ^m with m ≥ 2 to a compact Riemannian manifold N, if ψ ∈ W^1,p(Ω) for some p > , we prove that (ϕ,ψ) is smooth outside a closed singular set whose (m − 2)-dimensional Hausdorff measure is zero. Furthermore, if the target manifold N does not admit any harmonic sphere S^l, l = 2,...,m − 1, then (ϕ,ψ) is smooth.
