We prove that a primitive harmonic map is equivariant if and only if it admits a holomorphic potential of degree one. We investigate when the equivariant harmonic map is periodic, and as an application discuss constant mean curvature…

We construct, for every \(0<k<1\), a bounded globally univalent harmonic mapping \[ f=h+\overline g \colon \D\to\C \] such that \[ |g'(z)|\le k|h'(z)|,\qquad z\in\D, \] while the analytic part \(h\) is unbounded. The construction is based…

Motivated by the rich theory of harmonic maps from a 2-sphere, we study biharmonic maps from a 2-sphere in this paper. We first derive biharmonic equation for rotationally symmetric maps between rotationally symmetric 2-manifolds. We then…

On non-K\"ahler manifolds the notion of harmonic maps is modified to that of Hermitian harmonic maps in order to be compatible with the complex structure. The resulting semilinear elliptic system is {\it not} in divergence form. The case of…
