In this paper, the theory of harmonic maps is extended. The soliton or traveling wave solutions of Euler's equations of the extended harmonic maps are studied. In certain cases, the chaotic behaviors of these partial equations can be found…
We generalize previous results for the superplane Landau model to exhibit an explicit worldline N = 2 supersymmetry for an arbitrary magnetic field on any two-dimensional manifold. Starting from an off-shell N = 2 superfield formalism, we…
We prove that not every harmonic map from $S^{2}$ to $S^{2}$ can arise as a limit of Ginzburg--Landau critical points. More precisely, we show that the only degree-one harmonic maps that can be approximated in this way are rotations. This…
We study the existence of harmonic maps and Dirac-harmonic maps from degenerating surfaces to non-positive curved manifold via the scheme of Sacks and Uhlenbeck. By choosing a suitable sequence of $\alpha$-(Dirac-)harmonic maps from a…
The problem of separation of variables in some coordinate systems obtained with the use of $L$-transformations is studied. Potentials are shown that allow separation of regular variables in a perturbed two-body problem. The potential…
We are concerned with the Sturm-Liouville problem on the half line. We show that when the potential $q$ is subject only to power decay at infinity the $L^2$ solution may be continued into a sector of the so-called un-physical sheet. This…
The paper is devoted to study the space of multiplicative maps from the Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum $H\Z$ to an arbitrary ring spectrum $R$. We try to generalize the approach of Schwede from "Formal groups and stable homotopy of commutative…
Another connection of harmonic maps to gravity is presented. Using 1-soliton and anti-soliton solutions of the sine-Gordon equation, we construct a pair of harmonic maps that we express in terms of a particular dilaton field in…
This research is motivated by the study of the geometry of fractal sets and is focused on uniformization problems: transformation of sets to canonical sets, using maps that preserve the geometry in some sense. More specifically, the main…
Critical points of approximations of the Dirichlet energy \`{a} la Sacks-Uhlenbeck are known to converge to harmonic maps in a suitable sense. However, we show that not every harmonic map can be approximated by critical points of such…
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…
We prove existence of martingale solutions for the stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility and multiplicative Wiener noise. The potential is allowed to be of logarithmic or double-obstacle type. By extending to the…
This note addresses the quantitative aspect of the bilipschitz extension problem. The main result states that any bilipschitz embedding of $\mathbb R$ into $\mathbb R^2$ can be extended to a bilipschitz self-map of $\mathbb R^2$ with a…
In this paper, we study the stability problem of exponentially subelliptic harmonic maps from sub-Riemannian manifolds to Riemannian manifolds. We derive the rst and second variation formulas for exponentially subelliptic harmonic maps, and…
We develop and illustrate methods to compute all single particle potentials that underlie the logistic map, x --> sx(1-x) for 0<s<=4. We show that the switchback potentials can be obtained from the primary potential through functional…
Motivated by the theory of harmonic maps on Riemannian surfaces, conformal-harmonic maps between two Riemannian manifolds $M$ and $N$ were introduced in search of a natural notion of harmonicity for maps defined on a general even…

We study the direct and inverse spectral problems for semiclassical operators of the form $S = S_0 +\h^2V$, where $S_0 = \frac 12 \Bigl(-\h^2\Delta_{\bbR^n} + |x|^2\Bigr)$ is the harmonic oscillator and $V:\bbR^n\to\bbR$ is a tempered…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the Schr\"odinger maps evolution when the domain is the hyperbolic plane. An interesting feature of this problem compared to the more widely studied case on the Euclidean plane is the existence of a rich…
In this paper, we address several interconnected problems in the theory of harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. First, we present necessary background and establish one of the main results of the paper: a criterion characterizing…
