Abstract

Let NN be a closed, connected, and oriented Riemannian manifold, which admits a quasiregular ω\omega-curve RnN\mathbb{R}^n \to N with infinite energy. We prove that, if the de Rham class of ω\omega is non-zero and belongs to a so-called K\"unneth ideal, then there exists a non-trivial graded algebra homomorphism HdR(N)RnH_{\mathrm{dR}}^*(N) \to \bigwedge^* \mathbb{R}^n from the de Rham algebra HdR(N)H_{\mathrm{dR}}^*(N) of NN to the exterior algebra Rn\bigwedge^* \mathbb{R}^n. As an application, we give examples of pairs (N,ω)(N,\omega), where NN is a closed manifold and ω\omega is a closed nn-form for n<dimNn<\dim N, for which every quasiregular ω\omega-curve RnN\mathbb{R}^n \to N is constant.
