AbstractThe classical result of describing harmonic maps from surfaces into symmetric spaces of reductive Lie groups [9] states that the Maurer-Cartan form with an additional parameter, the so-called loop parameter, is integrable for all values of the loop parameter. As a matter of fact, the same result holds for k-symmetric spaces over reductive Lie groups, [8].In this survey we will show that to each of the five different types of real forms for a loop group of A2(2) there exists a surface class, for which some frame is integrable for all values of the loop parameter if and only if it belongs to one of the surface classes, that is, minimal Lagrangian surfaces in ℂℙ2, minimal Lagrangian surfaces in ℂℍ2, timelike minimal Lagrangian surfaces in ℂℍ12, proper definite affine spheres in ℝ3 and proper indefinite affine spheres in ℝ3, respectively.

This paper aims to investigate the geometry of the moduli spaces of harmonic maps of compact Riemann surfaces into compact Lie groups or compact symmetric spaces. The approach here is to study the gauge theoretic equations for such harmonic maps and the moduli space of their solutions. We discuss the S1-action, the hyper-presymplectic structure, the energy function, the Hitchin map, the flag transforms on the moduli space, several kinds of subspaces in the moduli space, and the relationship among them, especially the structure of the critical point subset for the energy function on the moduli space. As results, we show that every uniton solution is a critical point of the energy function on the moduli space, and moreover we give a characterization of the fixed point subset fixed by S1-action in terms of a flag transform.
