Abstract.
We show that each Jordan homomorphism R → R′ of rings gives rise to a harmonic mapping of one connected component of the projective line over R into the projective line over R′. If there is more than one connected component then this mapping can be extended in various ways to a harmonic mapping which is defined on the entire projective line over R.
