TWISTOR FIBRATIONS GIVING PRIMITIVE HARMONIC MAPS OF FINITE TYPE RUI PACHECO Received 4 April 2005 and in revised form 3 October 2005 Primitive harmonic maps of finite type from a Riemann surface M into a k-symmetric space G/H are obtained by integrating a pair of commuting Hamiltonian vector fields on certain finite-dimensional subspaces of loop algebras. We will clarify and generalize Ohnita and Udagawa’s results concerning homogeneous projections p : G/H → G/K, with H ⊂ K , preserving finite-type property for primitive harmonic maps. 1. Introduction It is well known (cf. [5, 10]) that harmonic maps from a Riemann surface M to a Rie- mannian symmetric space G/K correspond to certain holomorphic maps, the extended framings , into the loop group ΛG. An extended framing reveals intimate properties of the corresponding harmonic map. The simplest situation occurs when the Fourier series associated to an extended fram- ing has finitely many terms; the corresponding harmonic maps are said to have finite uniton number. All the harmonic maps in a domain of genus zero are of this kind. Again, harmonic maps obtained via twistor construction have finite uniton number. The twistor- theoretic construction of harmonic maps from holomorphic data accounts for all isotropic harmonic maps from a Riemann surface into a sphere or a complex projective space. In particular, all harmonic 2-spheres in Sn or CPn arise in this way [7, 8, 9]. Harmonic maps of finite type correspond to extended framings which can be obtained by integrating a pair of commuting Hamiltonian vector fields on certain finite-dimen- sional subspaces of loop algebras. It was shown in [4] that any nonconformal harmonic map of a 2-torus into a rank-one symmetric space G/K is of finite type. Burstall [3] gen- eralized the notion of harmonic map of finite type to the case where the target manifold admits a k-symmetric structure and proved that any weakly conformal nonisot
