We define two transforms between non-conformal harmonic maps from a surface into the 3-sphere. With these transforms one can construct, from one such harmonic map, a sequence of harmonic maps. We show that there is a correspondence between…
We introduce a rectified $n$-harmonic map flow from an n-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold to another closed Riemannian manifold. We prove existence of a global solution, which is regular except for a finite number of points, of 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…
We completely describe inhomogeneous properly embedded almost symmetric submanifolds of Euclidean space as certain unions of parallel symmetric submanifolds of the ambient Euclidean space.
We generalize the notion of calibrated submanifolds to smooth maps and show that the several examples of smooth maps appearing in the differential geometry become the examples of our situation. Moreover, we apply these notion to give the…
We extend a theorem by Kleiner, stating that on a group with polynomial growth, the space of harmonic functions of polynomial of at most $k$ is finite dimensional, to the settings of locally compact groups equipped with measures with…
In this paper, we construct polynomial growth harmonic maps from once-punctured Riemann surfaces of any finite genus to any even-sided, regular, ideal polygon in the hyperbolic plane. We also establish their uniqueness within a class of…
The Harmonic Mapping Problem asks when there exists a harmonic homeomorphism between two given domains. It arises in the theory of minimal surfaces and in calculus of variations, specifically in hyperelasticity theory. We investigate this…
If $(N^{m+p},h)$ is a Cartan-Hadamard manifold such that $Ric(h)\geq -G(r_{N}(x))$ where $G(0)\geq 1, G^{'}\geq 0$ and $G^{-1/2}\not\in L^{1}(+\infty)$ then every proper biharmonic isometric immersion $\phi : M^{m}\rightarrow(N^{m+p},h)$ is…
We construct explicit examples of Dirac-harmonic maps $(\phi, \psi)$ between Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ and $(N,g')$ which are non-trivial in the sense that $\phi$ is not harmonic. When $\dim M=2$, we also produce examples where $\phi$ is…
In the first part of this paper we shall classify proper triharmonic isoparametric surfaces in 3-dimensional homogeneous spaces (Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu spaces, shortly BCV-spaces). We shall also prove that triharmonic Hopf cylinders are…
We study the influence of an additional scalar potential on various geometric and analytic properties of Dirac-harmonic maps. We will create a mathematical wish list of the possible benefits from inducing the potential term and point out…
We give several construction methods and use them to produce many examples of proper biharmonic maps including biharmonic tori of any dimension in Euclidean spheres (Theorem 2.2, Corollaries 2.3, 2.4, and 2.6), biharmonic maps between…
For stationary harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the uniform interior and boundary gradient estimates in terms of the total energy of maps. We also show that if analytic target…
We construct equivariant harmonic maps between cohomogeneity one manifolds.
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…
The Lichnerowicz conjecture asserts that all harmonic manifolds are either flat or locally symmetric spaces of rank 1. This conjecture has been proved by Z.I. Szabo for harmonic manifolds with compact universal cover. E. Damek and F. Ricci…
In this short note we study nonexistence result of biharmonic maps from a complete Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. Assume that $\phi:(M,g)\to (N, h)$ is a biharmonic map, where $(M, g)$…
Characterizations for Riemannian submersions to be harmonic or biharmonic are shown. Examples of biharmonic but not harmonic Riemannian submersions are shown.
In this paper, we study the existence of various harmonic maps from Hermitian manifolds to Kaehler, Hermitian and Riemannian manifolds respectively. By using refined Bochner formulas on Hermitian (possibly non-Kaehler) manifolds, we derive…
