We introduce the natural notion of (p,q)-harmonic morphisms between Riemannian manifolds. This unifies several theories that have been studied during the last decades. We then study the special case when the maps involved are…

Both bi-harmonic map and $f$-harmonic map have nice physical motivation and applications. In this paper, by combination of these two harmonic maps, we introduce and study $f$-bi-harmonic maps as the critical points of the $f$-bi-energy…

The aim of this paper is to find an optimal matching between manifold-valued curves, and thereby adequately compare their shapes, seen as equivalent classes with respect to the action of reparameterization. Using a canonical decomposition…

We establish combinatorial versions of various classical systolic inequalities. For a smooth triangulation of a closed smooth manifold, the minimal number of edges in a homotopically non-trivial loop contained in the $1$-skeleton gives an…

In this paper, we give an estimate of sub-Laplacian of Riemannian distance functions in pseudo-Hermitian geometry which plays a similar role as Laplacian comparison theorem in Riemannian geometry, and deduce a prior horizontal gradient…

We study harmonic maps from a 3-manifold with boundary to $\mathbb{S}^1$ and prove a special case of dihedral rigidity of three dimensional cubes whose dihedral angles are $\pi / 2$. Furthermore we give some applications to mapping torus…

We study the discretization of (almost-)Dirac structures using the notion of retraction and discretization maps on manifolds. Additionally, we apply the proposed discretization techniques to obtain numerical integrators for port-Hamiltonian…

In 2011, Wang and Ou (Math. Z. {\bf 269}:917-925, 2011) showed that any biharmonic Riemannian submersion from a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature to a surface is harmonic. In this paper, we generalize the…

Tightness is a generalisation of the notion of convexity: a space is tight if and only if it is "as convex as possible", given its topological constraints. For a simplicial complex, deciding tightness has a straightforward exponential time…

Our aim in this paper is to provide a theory of discrete Riemann surfaces based on quadrilateral cellular decompositions of Riemann surfaces together with their complex structure encoded by complex weights. Previous work, in particular of…

We consider harmonic maps on simply connected Riemann surfaces into the group $\mathrm{U}(n)$ of unitary matrices of order $n$. It is known that a harmonic map with an associated algebraic extended solution can be deformed into a new…

We prove the equivalence of several natural notions of conformal maps between sub-Riemannian manifolds. Our main contribution is in the setting of those manifolds that support a suitable regularity theory for subelliptic $p$-Laplacian…

The goal of this paper is twofold. First, we present a unified way of formulating numerical integration problems from both approximation theory and discrepancy theory. Second, we show how techniques, developed in approximation theory, work…

We study the properties of stochastic approximation applied to a tame nondifferentiable function subject to constraints defined by a Riemannian manifold. The objective landscape of tame functions, arising in o-minimal topology extended to a…

We establish a smoothness result for families of biholomorphisms between smooth families of strongly pseudoconvex domains, each with trivial biholomorphism group. This is accomplished by considering the Riemannian geometry of their Bergman…

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…

Discrete conformal mappings based on circle packing, vertex scaling, and related structures has had significant activity since Thurston proposed circle packing as a way to approximate conformal maps in the 1980s. The first convergence…

We study biharmonic maps between conformally compact manifolds, a large class of complete manifolds with bounded geometry, asymptotically negative curvature, and smooth compactification. These metrics provide a far-reaching generalization…

$\infty$-Harmonic maps are a generalization of $\infty$-harmonic functions. They can be viewed as the limiting cases of p-harmonic maps as p goes to infinity. In this paper, we give complete classifications of linear and quadratic…

We study a new set of coupled field equations motivated by the non-linear supersymmetric sigma model of quantum field theory. These equations couple a map into a Riemannian manifold controlled by a harmonic map like action with a spinor…
