New examples of harmonic maps to the hyperbolic plane via B\"acklund transformation

Differential Geometry 2023-06-02 v3

Abstract

We study harmonic maps from a subset of the complex plane to a subset of the hyperbolic plane. In \cite{FotDask}, harmonic maps are related to the sinh-Gordon equation and a B{\"a}cklund transformation is introduced, which connects solutions of the sinh-Gordon and sine-Gordon equation. We develop this machinery in order to construct new harmonic maps to the hyperbolic plane.
