   ABSTRACT: I will discuss the relaxed Dirichlet energy for maps from B^3
   into S^2 (definitions, meaning, etc... ), treating the regularity
   theory in particular. This field contains several long standing open
   questions. I will present a recent result which gives us a better
   understanding of the minimizers of this energy, and casts even more
   open questions.
