Harmonic morphisms, maps which preserve Laplace's equation, are intimately connected to the topic of minimal submanifolds. In this article we first characterise harmonic morphisms between Riemannian manifolds as the weakly horizontally…

Let \((M^n,g)\) be a smooth closed Riemannian manifold of dimension \(n \ge 5\) with positive Yamabe invariant and semi-positive \(Q\)-curvature. We establish a precompactness result in the \(C^{\alpha}\)-H\"older topologie on the space of…

We show how the rigid conformal supersymmetries associated with a certain class of pseudo-Riemannian spin manifolds define a Lie superalgebra. The even part of this superalgebra contains conformal isometries and constant R-symmetries. The…
