  • Let $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a Lipschitz domain, and consider a harmonic map $v: Ω\rightarrow \mathbb{S}^2$ with boundary data $v|\partialΩ= φ$ which minimises the Dirichlet energy. For $p\geq 2$, we show that any energy minimiser $u$ whose boundary map $ψ$ has a small $W^{1,p}$-distance to $φ$ is close to $v$ in Hölder norm modulo bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms, provided that $v$ is the unique minimiser attaining the boundary data. The index $p=2$ is sharp: the above stability result fails for $p<2$ due to the constructions by Almgren--Lieb \cite{al} and Mazowiecka--Strzelecki \cite{ms}.
