The energy density of biharmonic quadratic maps between spheres

Differential Geometry 2023-06-06 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we first prove that a quadratic form from Sm\mathbb{S}^m to Sn\mathbb{S}^n is non-harmonic biharmonic if and only if it has constant energy density (m+1)/2(m+1)/2. Then, we give a positive answer to an open problem concerning the structure of non-harmonic biharmonic quadratic forms. As a direct application, using classification results for harmonic quadratic forms, we infer classification results for non-harmonic biharmonic quadratic forms.
