Polyharmonic, or $r$-harmonic, maps are a natural generalization of harmonic maps whose study was proposed by Eells-Lemaire in 1983. The main aim of this paper is to construct new examples of proper $r$-harmonic immersions into spheres. In…

We develop new tools to compute the index of symmetry in the context of homogeneous fibrations. As a consequence of our results, we determine the index of symmetry of every homogeneous space diffeomorphic to a compact rank-one symmetric…

In the paper, we study the Gauss map of a completely immersed anisotropic minimal surface with respect to convex parametric integrand in $\mathbb{R}^3$. By a local analysis, we prove the discreteness of the critical set of the Gauss map of…

For an arbitrary Dirac-harmonic map $(\phi,\psi)$ between compact oriented Riemannian surfaces, we shall study the zeros of $|\psi|$. With the aid of Bochner-type formulas, we explore the relationship between the order of the zeros of…

We prove that harmonic morphisms preserve the Jacobi operator along harmonic maps. We apply this result to prove infinitesimal and local rigidity (in the sense of Toth) of harmonic morphisms to a sphere.

Sparse inpainting techniques are gaining in popularity as a tool for cosmological data analysis, in particular for handling data which present masked regions and missing observations. We investigate here the relationship between sparse…

In the present paper we consider preserving orientation Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on surfaces. Using the methods of factorization and linearizing neighborhoods we prove that such diffeomorphisms have a finite number of orientable…

We classify the path-components of the space of circle-valued Morse functions on compact surfaces: two Morse functions $f, g: M\to S^1$ belong to same path-component of this space if and only if they are homotopic and have equal numbers of…

We study properties of the continuation map for the Morse fundamental group $\pi_1^\text{Morse}(f,\ast)$ associated to a Morse-Smale pair $(f,g)$ on a manifold $M$. We get a morphism between $\pi_1^\text{Morse}(f_1,\ast_1)$ and…

We give coefficient estimates for a class of close-to-convex harmonic mappings, and discuss the Fekete-Szeg\H{o} problem of it. We also introduce two classes of polyharmonic mappings $\mathcal{HS}_{p}$ and $\mathcal{HC}_{p}$, consider the…

We call indexed-biharmonic maps, the solutions of a particular non linear elliptic PDE of order 4. This is a generalization of harmonic maps which verifies that biharmonic maps are biharmonic of index 0. The goal of this article is to study…

In this article, we introduce a new family of sense preserving harmonic mappings f in the open unit disk and prove that functions in this family are close-to-convex. We give some basic properties such as coefficient bounds, growth…

This paper can be considered as an extension to our paper [On symplectically harmonic forms on six-dimensional nilmanifolds, Comment. Math. Helv. 76 (2001), n 1, 89-109]. Also, it contains a brief survey of recent results on symplectically…

Suppose that $p \in (1,\infty]$, $\nu \in [1/2,\infty)$, $\mathcal{S}_\nu = \left\{ (x_1,x_2) \in \mathbb{R}^2 \setminus \{(0, 0)\}: |\phi| < \frac{\pi}{2\nu}\right\}$, where $\phi$ is the polar angle of $(x_1,x_2)$. Let $R>0$ and…

We show that the sum of the Morse indices of the Willmore spheres realising the width of Willmore type sweep-outs is bounded by the number of the parameters of the min-max. As an application, we deduce that among the true Willmore spheres…
