Abstract
The authors introduce the conception of stationary map-varifold pairs and prove a compactness result. As applications, they analyse the asymptotic structure of the pseudo tangent map of stationary harmonic maps. For stationary pair, they also get a strong convergence criterion about the map part and introduce the stratification of the singular set.
