Inspired by the work of Chevalley and Eilenberg on the de Rham cohomology on compact Lie groups, we prove that, under certain algebraic and topological conditions, the cohomology associated to left-invariant elliptic, and even hypocomplex,…

We consider harmonic maps into pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We show the removability of isolated singularities for continuous maps, i.e. that any continuous map from an open subset of R^m into a pseudo-Riemannian manifold which is two times…

In this paper, we study biharmonic hypersurfaces in Einstein manifolds. Then, we determine all the biharmonic hypersurfaces in irreducible symmetric spaces of compact type which are regular orbits of commutative Hermann actions of…

We compute a Simons' type formula for the stress-energy tensor of biharmonic maps from surfaces. Specializing to Riemannian immersions, we prove several rigidity results for biharmonic CMC surfaces, putting in evidence the influence of the…

We consider 5-dimensional Lie groups with left-invariant Riemannian metrics. For such groups we give a partial classification of left-invariant conformal foliations with minimal leaves of codimension 2. These foliations produce local…

We prove that the problem of constructing biharmonic conformal maps on a $4$-dimensional Einstein manifold reduces to a Yamabe-type equation. This allows us to construct an infinite family of examples on the Euclidean 4-sphere. In addition,…

For $n\ge 3$, let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $R^n$ and $N$ be a compact Riemannian manifold in $R^L$ without boundary. Suppose that $u_n\in W^{1,n}(\Omega,N)$ are the Palais-Smale sequences of the Dirichlet $n$-energy functional and…

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…

Biharmonic maps between surfaces are studied in this paper. We compute the bitension field of a map between surfaces with conformal metrics in complex coordinates. As applications, we show that a linear map from Euclidean plane into…

We introduce a geometric invariant that we call the index of symmetry, which measures how far is a Riemannian manifold from being a symmetric space. We compute, in a geometric way, the index of symmetry of compact naturally reductive…

We consider a complete biharmonic submanifold $\phi:(M,g)\rightarrow (N,h)$ in a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded from above by a non-negative constant $c$. Assume that the mean curvature is bounded from below by $\sqrt…

Motivated by the work of Cappell, Deturck, Gluch and Miller, we extend the notion of cohomology of harmonic forms (of a compact manifold with boundary) to the abstract setting of Hilbert complexes. Then, we present some geometric…

In 2011, Wang and Ou (Math. Z. {\bf 269}:917-925, 2011) showed that any biharmonic Riemannian submersion from a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature to a surface is harmonic. In this paper, we generalize the…

We propose a new notion called \emph{infinity-harmonic maps}between Riemannain manifolds. These are natural generalizations of the well known notion of infinity harmonic functions and are also the limiting case of $p$% -harmonic maps as…

Many physically important mechanical systems may be described with a Lie group $G$ as configuration space. According to the well-known Noether's theorem, underlying symmetries of the Lie group may be used to considerably reduce the…

$f$-Biharmonic maps are generalizations of harmonic maps and biharmonic maps. In this paper, we obtain some descriptions of $f$-biharmonic curves in a space form. We also obtain a complete classification of proper $f$-biharmonic isometric…

This note reviews some of the recent work on biharmonic conformal maps (see \cite{OC}, Chapter 11, for a detailed survey). It will be focused on biharmonic conformal immersions and biharmonic conformal maps between manifolds of the same…

In this article, we give Maurer-Cartan characterizations of equivariant Lie superalgebra structures. We introduce equivariant cohomology and equivariant formal deformation theory of Lie superalgebras. As an application of equivariant…
