Abstract
The research we want to report about has been motivated by the study of the regularity properties of solutions to the equations of “wave maps3 ” defined from the Minkowski space-time M n+1 to a Riemannian manifold N. Our interest in these equations is due to the fact that they are the simplest system of wave equations, derived from a relativistic Lagrangean, which contain nonlinear terms quadratic in the first derivatives.
