Abstract

We derive a lower bound for energies of harmonic maps of convex polyhedra in R-3 to the unit sphere S-2, with tangent boundary conditions on the faces. We also establish that C-infinity maps satisfying tangent boundary conditions are dense with respect to the Sobolev norm in the space of continuous tangent maps of finite energy.
