This paper is a study of harmonic maps from Riemannian polyhedra to (locally) non-positively curved geodesic spaces in the sense of Alexandrov. We prove Liouville-type theorems for subharmonic functions and harmonic maps under two different…

We solve explicitly the geodesic equation for a wide class of (pseudo)-Riemannian homogeneous manifolds (G/H,m), including those with G compact, as well as non-compact semisimple Lie groups, under a simple algebraic condition for the metric…

Consider the geodesic flow on a real-analytic closed hypersurface $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, equipped with the standard Euclidean metric. The flow is entirely determined by the manifold and the Riemannian metric. Typically, geodesic flows are…

We show geodesic completeness of certain compact locally symmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature $(2,n)$. Our model space $\mathbf{X}$ is a $1$-connected, indecomposable symmetric space of signature $(2,n)$, that admits a unique…

We study $n$-dimensional K\"ahler manifolds whose geodesic flows possess $n$ first integrals in involution that are fibrewise hermitian forms and simultaneously normalizable. Under some mild assumption, one can associate with such a…

We present an analysis on the convergence properties of the so-called geometric heat flow equation for computing geodesics (extremal curves) on Riemannian manifolds. Computing geodesics numerically in real time has become an important…

An infinite family of quasi-maximally superintegrable Hamiltonians with a common set of (2N-3) integrals of the motion is introduced. The integrability properties of all these Hamiltonians are shown to be a consequence of a hidden…

Streamlines of a relativistic perfect isentropic fluid are geodesics of a Riemannian space whose metric is defined by enthalpy of the fluid. This fact simplifies the solution of some problems, as is also of interest from the point of view…
