We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Harmonic maps and singularities of period mappings
Jürgen Jost, Yi-Hu Yang and Kang Zuo
Abstract
We use simple methods from harmonic maps to investigate singularities of period mappings at infifinity. More precisely, we derive a harmonic map version of Schmid's nilpotent orbit theorem.
