We study the Dirac-Yang-Mills equations on closed spin manifolds with a focus on uncoupled solutions, i.e. solutions for which the connection form satisfies the Yang-Mills equation. Such solutions require the Dirac current, a quadratic form…
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.…
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)…
For a bounded domain equipped with a piecewise Lipschitz continuous Riemannian metric g, we consider harmonic map from $(\Omega, g)$ to a compact Riemannian manifold $(N,h)\subset\mathbb R^k$ without boundary. We generalize the notion of…
In this paper, we address several interconnected problems in the theory of harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. First, we present necessary background and establish one of the main results of the paper: a criterion characterizing…
An identity map $(M,g)\longrightarrow(M,g)$ is a harmonic from a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ onto itself. In this paper, we study the harmonicity of identity maps $(M,g)\longrightarrow(M,g-df\otimes df)$ and $(M,g-df\otimes…
We study the influence of an additional scalar potential on various geometric and analytic properties of Dirac-harmonic maps. We will create a mathematical wish list of the possible benefits from inducing the potential term and point out…
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…
We show that a harmonic map from a Riemann surface into the exceptional symmetric space $G_2/{\mathrm SO}(4)$ has a $J_2$-holomorphic twistor lift into one of the three flag manifolds of $G_2$ if and only if it is `nilconformal', i.e., has…
We describe work on solutions of certain non-divergence type and therefore non-variational elliptic and parabolic systems on manifolds. These systems include Hermitian and affine harmonics which should become useful tools for studying…
In this paper, we study $(\mathcal F,\mathcal F')_{p}$-harmonic maps between foliated Riemannian manifolds $(M,g,\mathcal F)$ and $(M',g',\mathcal F')$. A $(\mathcal F,\mathcal F')_{p}$-harmonic map $\phi:(M,g,\mathcal F)\to (M',…
In this paper, we study the gluing construction of the extended harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. Harmonic maps are critical points of the energy functional. We construct the gluing map of the extended harmonic maps from Riemann…
For a sequence of coupled fields $\{(\phi_n,\psi_n)\}$ from a compact Riemann surface $M$ with smooth boundary to a general compact Riemannian manifold with uniformly bounded energy and satisfying the Dirac-harmonic system up to some…
4-harmonic and ES-4-harmonic maps are two generalizations of the well-studied harmonic map equation which are both given by a nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation of order eight. Due to the large number of derivatives it is very…
In this paper, we discuss the general existence theory of Dirac-harmonic maps from closed surfaces via the heat flow for $\alpha$-Dirac-harmonic maps and blow-up analysis. More precisely, given any initial map along which the Dirac operator…
The first result in this study is a non-existence theorem for $\alpha-$harmonic mappings. Additionally, a direct connection between the $\alpha-$ harmonic and harmonic maps is made possible via conformal deformation. Second, the instability…
Bifurcations in a system of coupled maps are investigated. Using symbolic dynamics it is proven that for coupled shift maps the well known space--time--mixing attractor becomes unstable at a critical coupling strength in favour of a…
In this paper, we consider critical points of the horizontal energy $E_{\HH}(f)$ for a smooth map $f$ between two Riemannian foliations. These critical points are referred to as horizontally harmonic maps. In particular, if the maps are…
In this paper, we obtained Liouville theorem for $ \phi $-$F$-symphonic map , $ \phi $-$F$-harmonic map and $ \phi $-$\Phi_{S, p, \varepsilon}$ harmonic map with free boundary on metric measure space.
We consider polyharmonic maps $\phi:(M,g)\rightarrow $\mathbb{E}^n$ of order k from a complete Riemannian manifold into the Euclidean space and let $p$ be a real constant satisfying $1<p<\infty$. (i) If, $\int_M|W^{k-1}|^p dv_g<\infty,$ and…
