We extend many known results for harmonic maps from the 2-sphere into a Grassmannian to harmonic maps of finite uniton number from an arbitrary Riemann surface. Our method relies on a new theory of nilpotent cycles arising from the diagrams…
We investigate a parabolic-elliptic system for maps $(u,v)$ from a compact Riemann surface $M$ into a Lorentzian manifold $N\times{\mathbb{R}}$ with a warped product metric. That system turns the harmonic map type equations into a parabolic…
On non-K\"ahler manifolds the notion of harmonic maps is modified to that of Hermitian harmonic maps in order to be compatible with the complex structure. The resulting semilinear elliptic system is {\it not} in divergence form. The case of…
Jacobi's elliptic functions have been constructed from a deformed Lie algebra. The generators of the algebra have been obtained from a bi-orthogonal system. The deformation parameter resembles the modulus of the relevant elliptic functions.
We prove existence and regularity results for energy minimizing maps between ideal hyperbolic 2-dimensional simplicial complexes. The spaces in question were introduced by Charitos-Papadopoulos, who describe their Teichm\"uller spaces and…
We obtain bounds for the spectrum and for the total width of the spectral gaps for Jacobi matrices on $\ell^2(\Z)$ of the form $(H\psi)_n= a_{n-1}\psi_{n-1}+b_n\psi_n+a_n\psi_{n+1}$, where $a_n=a_{n+q}$ and $b_n=b_{n+q}$ are periodic…
We construct sense-preserving univalent harmonic mappings which map the unit disk onto a domain which is convex in the horizontal direction, but with varying dilatation. Also, we obtain minimal surfaces associated with such harmonic…
J. Eells and L. Lemaire introduced k-harmonic maps, and Wang Shaobo showed the first variational formula. When, k=2, it is called biharmonic maps (2-harmonic maps). There have been extensive studies in the area. In this paper, we consider…
In this paper we investigate estimates about the Laplace operator in heat flows of harmonic maps, focusing outside the singularities through spherical coordinates. These estimates can be used in the general Ericksen--Leslie system to obtain…
In this paper, we derive several regularity results for harmonic mappings into Euclidean spheres associated with rather general energies related to fractional Sobolev spaces. These maps generalize families of maps introduced by Da Lio,…
We discuss a method to construct Dirac-harmonic maps developed by J.~Jost, X.~Mo and M.~Zhu in J.~Jost, X.~Mo, M.~Zhu, \emph{Some explicit constructions of Dirac-harmonic maps}, J. Geom. Phys. \textbf{59} (2009), no. 11, 1512--1527.The…
In this paper, the theory of harmonic maps is extended. The soliton or traveling wave solutions of Euler's equations of the extended harmonic maps are studied. In certain cases, the chaotic behaviors of these partial equations can be found…
Another connection of harmonic maps to gravity is presented. Using 1-soliton and anti-soliton solutions of the sine-Gordon equation, we construct a pair of harmonic maps that we express in terms of a particular dilaton field in…
We introduce two explicit examples of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. Moments and the reflection coefficients are expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. We find explicit expression for these polynomials in terms of a…
In the previous paper [GLM2018], we showed that the theory of harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds may be discretized by introducing triangulations with vertex and edge weights on the domain manifold. In the present paper, we study…
J.Eells and L. Lemaire introduced k-harmonic maps, and T. Ichiyama, J. Inoguchi and H.Urakawa showed the first variation formula. In this paper, we give the second variation formula of k-harmonic maps, and show non-existence theorem of…
Jacobi's elliptic integrals and elliptic functions arise naturally from the Schwarz-Christoffel conformal transformation of the upper half plane onto a rectangle. In this paper we study generalized elliptic integrals which arise from the…
Biharmonic and conformal-biharmonic maps are two fourth-order generalizations of the well-studied notion of harmonic maps in Riemannian geometry. In this article we consider maps into the Euclidean sphere and investigate a geometric…
We prove that when assuming suitable non-degeneracy conditions equivariant harmonic maps into symmetric spaces of non-compact type depend in a real analytic fashion on the representation they are associated to. The main tool in the proof is…
We study harmonic functions on general weighted graphs which allow for a compatible intrinsic metric. We prove an $L^{p}$ Liouville type theorem which is a quantitative integral $L^{p}$ estimate of harmonic functions analogous to Karp's…
