Abstract
We establish explicit formulae for canonical factorizations of extended solutions corresponding to harmonic maps of finite uniton number into the exceptional Lie group G 2 in terms of the Grassmannian model for the group of based algebraic loops in G 2 A description of the “Frenet frame data” for such harmonic maps is given In particular we show that harmonic spheres into G 2 correspond to solutions of certain algebraic systems of quadratic and cubic equations
