A Harmonic-Map Proof of Mostow Rigidity
Abstract
Given an isomorphism between the fundamental groups of two compact hyperbolic manifolds of dimension at least three, we consider the associated equivariant harmonic lift. We establish a sharp pointwise gradient estimate for this lift. This yields a harmonic-map proof of Mostow rigidity.
