Boundaries of Graphs of Harmonic Functions

Harmonic functions u: Rn → Rm are equivalent to integral manifolds of an exterior differential system with independence condition (M,I,ω). To this system one associates the space of conservation laws C. They provide necessary conditions for g: Sn–1 → M to be the boundary of an integral submanifold....

description Harmonic functions u: Rn → Rm are equivalent to integral manifolds of an exterior differential system with independence condition (M,I,ω). To this system one associates the space of conservation laws C. They provide necessary conditions for g: Sn–1 → M to be the boundary of an integral submanifold. We show that in a local sense these conditions are also sufficient to guarantee the existence of an integral manifold with boundary g(Sn–1). The proof uses standard linear elliptic theory to produce an integral manifold G: Dn → M and the completeness of the space of conservation laws to show that this candidate has g(Sn–1) as its boundary. As a corollary we obtain a new elementary proof of the characterization of boundaries of holomorphic disks in Cm in the local case.
