The regularity theory of Schoen and Uhlenbeck [SU] for energy minimizing maps u from a domain ~2 C R n (equipped with any smooth Riemannian metric) into a compact smooth Riemannian target manifold N , established that the singular set s ingu always has Hausdorff dimension _ 0, where ~ s denotes s-dimensional Hausdorff measure. Similar results were obtained independently by Giaquinta and Giusti [GG] in the case when the image is contained in a coordinate chart. In case the target manifold N is real analytic, the main theorems of this paper (Theorems 1-3 below) establish rectifiability properties for such singular sets in the dimension n 3, and in other dimensions m < n 3 in case N happens to be such that all energy minimizing maps u into N have dim sing u < m. Recall that a subset A C R n is said to be m-rectifiable if ,~flm(A) < oo, and if A has an approximate tangent space a.e. in the sense that for ~ m a . e . z E A there is an m-dimensional subspace Lz such that
