The main aim of this work is to construct several new families of proper biharmonic functions defined on open subsets of the classical compact simple Lie groups $\SU n$, $\SO n$ and $\Sp n$. We work in a geometric setting which connects our…

We prove some Liouville-type theorems for positive harmonic functions on compact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary, thereby confirming some cases of Wang's conjecture (J. Geom. Anal. 31,…

We introduce spin-harmonic structures, a class of geometric structures on Riemannian manifolds of low dimension which are defined by a harmonic unitary spinor. Such structures are related to SU(2) (dim=4,5), SU(3) (dim=6) and G_2 (dim=7)…

We construct the first known examples of compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds having an essential group of conformal transformations, and which are not conformally flat. Our examples cover all types $(p,q)$, with $2 \leq p \leq q$.

Rank-one symmetric spaces carry a solvable group model which have a generalization to a larger class of Lie groups that are one-dimensional extensions of nilpotent groups. By examining some metric properties of these symmetric spaces, we…

We derive local and global monotonic quantities associated to $p$-harmonic functions on manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature. As applications, we obtain inequalities relating the mass of asymptotically flat $3$-manifolds, the…

Any expanding homogeneous Ricci soliton (in particular any homogeneous Einstein manifold of negative scalar curvature) can be obtained, up to isometry, from a Lie subgroup of a nilpotent Iwasawa group $N$ whose induced metric is a Ricci…

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 paper we classify those three-dimensional Riemannian Lie groups which admit harmonic morphisms to surfaces.

Given a complete Riemannian manifold satisfying a weighted Poincar\'{e} inequality and having a bounded below Ricci curvature, various vanishing theorems for harmonic functions and harmonic 1-forms have been published. We generalized these…

$L^p$-cohomology of rank one symmetric spaces of noncompact type is shown to be Hausdorff for values of $p$ where this does not follow from curvature pinching. Using the multiplicative structure on $L^p$-cohomology, it is shown that no…

We develop a general structure theory for compact homogeneous Riemannian manifolds in relation to the co-index of symmetry. We will then use these results to classify irreducible, simply connected, compact homogeneous Riemannian manifolds…

We study Poisson symmetric spaces of group type with Cartan subalgebra "adapted" to the Lie cobracket.

The present paper, which is partially a review, but also contains several completely new results, aims at presenting, in a unified mathematical framework, a complex and articulated lore regarding non-compact symmetric spaces, with negative…

Any homogeneous expanding Ricci soliton is known to be isometric to a Lie subgroup of the solvable part of the Iwasawa decomposition associated with a symmetric space of non-compact type, with the metric induced as a submanifold. In this…

In this note, we extend the definition of $p$-biharmonic and bi-$p$-harmonic maps between two Riemannian manifolds and explore some of their properties.

This paper focuses on the development of harmonic and Clifford analysis techniques in the context of some conformally flat manifolds that arise from factoring out a simply-connected domain from $R^n$ by special arithmetic subgroups of the…

We consider a problem on the conditions of a compact Lie group G that the loop space of the p-completed classifying space be a p-compact group for a set of primes. In particular, we discuss the classifying spaces BG that are p-compact for…

We determine all four-dimensional Lie groups which have harmonic curvature. As a consequence, a description of four-dimensional pp-wave Lie groups is obtained.

We introduce a class of maps from an affine flat into a Riemannian manifold that solve an elliptic system defined by the natural second order elliptic operator of the affine structure and the nonlinear Riemann geometry of the target. These…
