Presents a study of harmonic maps, minimal and parallel mean curvature immersions in the presence of symmetry. This book covers the material which displays an interplay involving geometry, analysis and topology. It includes a basic presentation of 1-cohomogeneous equivariant differential geometry and of the theory of harmonic maps between spheres.
