We use functions of a bicomplex variable to unify the existing constructions of harmonic morphisms from a 3-dimensional Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean space to a Riemannian or Lorentzian surface. This is done by using the notion of…
We consider harmonic diffeomorphisms to a fixed hyperbolic target $Y$, from a family of domain Riemann surfaces degenerating along a Teichm\"{u}ller ray. We use the work of Minsky to show that there is a limiting harmonic map from the…
We prove a Liouville-type theorem for biharmonic maps from a complete Riemannian manifold of dimension \(n\) that has a lower bound on its Ricci curvature and positive injectivity radius into a Riemannian manifold whose sectional curvature…
We consider conformal immersions of Riemann surfaces in $\bb{S}^4$ and study their Gauss maps with values in the Grassmann bundle $\mathcal{F} = SO_5/T^2 \to \mathbb{S}^4$. The energy of maps from Riemann surfaces into $\mathcal{F}$ is…
We first prove stochastic representation formulae for space-time harmonic mappings defined on manifolds with evolving Riemannian metric. We then apply these formulae to derive Liouville type theorems under appropriate curvature conditions.…
Examples of conformal dynamo maps have been presented earlier [Phys Plasmas \textbf{14}(2007)] where fast dynamos in twisted magnetic flux tubes in Riemannian manifolds were obtained. This paper shows that conformal maps, under the Floquet…
We construct sense-preserving univalent harmonic mappings which map the unit disk onto a domain which is convex in the horizontal direction, but with varying dilatation. Also, we obtain minimal surfaces associated with such harmonic…
We prove several Liouville theorems for F-harmonic maps from some complete Riemannian manifolds by assuming some conditions on the Hessian of the distance function, the degrees of F(t) and the asymptotic behavior of the map at infinity. In…
On foliations, there are two kinds of harmonic maps, that is, transversally harmonic map and $(F,F')$-harmonic map which are equivalent when the foliation is minimal. In this paper, we study transversally f-harmonic and $(F,F')_f$-harmonic…
In this paper we introduce conformal heat flow of (extrinsic) biharmonic maps on $4$-manifold, simply called bi-conformal heat flow (bi-CHF), and study its properties. Similar to other CHF of harmonic maps and regularized $n$-harmonic maps,…
We relate the existence problem of harmonic maps into $S^2$ to the convex geometry of $S^2$. On one hand, this allows us to construct new examples of harmonic maps of degree 0 from compact surfaces of arbitrary genus into $S^2$. On the…
The Grassmannian model represents harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces by families of shift-invariant subspaces of a Hilbert space. We impose a natural symmetry condition on the shift-invariant subspaces that corresponds to considering an…
In the previous paper [GLM2018], we showed that the theory of harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds may be discretized by introducing triangulations with vertex and edge weights on the domain manifold. In the present paper, we study…
In the lecture notes, the author will survey the development of conformal geometry on four dimensional manifolds. The topic she chooses is one on which she has been involved in the past twenty or more years: the study of the integral…
We study $p$-harmonic maps, $p$-harmonic morphisms, biharmonic maps, and quasiregular mappings into submanifolds of warped product Riemannian manifolds ${I}\times_f S^{m-1}(k)\, $ of an open interval and a complete simply-connecteded…
As a higher dimensional version of the theory of Morse functions, there have been various studies of smooth manifolds using generic smooth maps. As fundamental results, in these studies, they have found that inverse images of such maps…
We present a new and simple proof of Teichm\"uller-Wittich-Belinskii's and Gutlyanskii-Martio's theorems on the conformality of quasiconformal mappings at a given point. Known proofs gave separate estimates for the radial and angular…
We investigate a parabolic-elliptic system for maps $(u,v)$ from a compact Riemann surface $M$ into a Lorentzian manifold $N\times{\mathbb{R}}$ with a warped product metric. That system turns the harmonic map type equations into a parabolic…
A new topological conformal field theory in four Euclidean dimensions is constructed from N=4 super Yang-Mills theory by twisting the whole of the conformal group with the whole of the R-symmetry group, resulting in a theory that is…
Quaternionic analysis, which describes conformal maps from Riemann surfaces into $\mathbb{R}^3$ or $\mathbb{R}^4$, is extended to weakly conformal maps. As a consequence we present a new proof that on any compact Riemann surface $X$ the…
