In the context of dynamical systems, nonlinearity measures quantify the strength of nonlinearity by means of the distance of their input-output behaviour to a set of linear input-output mappings. In this paper, we establish a framework to…

In this article, we show that sequences of $(n+\alpha)$-harmonic maps with a free boundary in $\mathbb S^{d-1}$, where $\alpha$ is a parameter tending to zero, converge to a bubble tree. For such sequences, we prove in detail that the…

We prove that the entropy function on the moduli space of real quadratic rational maps is not monotonic by exhibiting a continuum of disconnected level sets. This entropy behavior is in stark contrast with the case of polynomial maps, and…

We study $ { \mathrm{ SU } ( p + 1 ) \times \mathrm{ SU } ( n - p ) } $-equivariant maps between complex projective spaces. For every $ { n, p \in \mathbb{ N } } $ with $ { 0 \leq p < n } $, we construct two explicit families of uncountable…

Let $\Sigma$ denote a closed surface with constant mean curvature in $\mathbb{G}^3$, a 3-dimensional Lie group equipped with a bi-invariant metric. For such surfaces, there is a harmonic Gauss map which maps values to the unit sphere within…

In this article we introduce a natural extension of the well-studied equation for harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds by assuming that the target manifold is equipped with a connection that is metric but has non-vanishing torsion.…

On a Riemannian surface, the energy of a map into a Riemannian manifold is a conformal invariant functional, and its critical points are the harmonic maps. Our main result is a generalization of this theorem when the starting manifold is…

We study representations of lattices of PU(m,1) into PU(n,1). We show that if a representation is reductive and if m is at least 2, then there exists a finite energy harmonic equivariant map from complex hyperbolic m-space to complex…

Carrying further work of T.A. Crawford, we show that each component of the space of harmonic maps from the $2$-sphere to complex projective $2$-space of degree $d$ and energy $4 \pi E$ is a smooth closed submanifold of the space of all…

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,…
