We construct, for every \(0<k<1\), a bounded globally univalent harmonic mapping \[ f=h+\overline g \colon \D\to\C \] such that \[ |g'(z)|\le k|h'(z)|,\qquad z\in\D, \] while the analytic part \(h\) is unbounded. The construction is based…

In a recent paper the first and the third authors introduced the notion of horizontal \alpha-harmonic map, with respect to a given C^1 planes distribution P_T on all R^m. The goal of this paper is to investigate compactness and quantization…

We study polyharmonic (k-harmonic) maps between Riemannian manifolds with finite j-energies (j=1, cdots, 2k-2). We show if the domain is complete and the target is the Euclidean space, then such a map is harmonic.

In this paper, we study the existence of harmonic and bi-harmonic maps into Riemannian manifolds admitting a conformal vector field, or a nontrivial Ricci solitons.

Pluriharmonic maps form an important class of harmonic maps which includes holomorphic maps. We study their morphisms, in particular the inter-relationships between $(1,1)$-geodesic, pluriharmonic and $\pm$holomorphic maps. Then we…

We study biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds with finite energy and finite bi-energy. We show that if the domain is complete and the target of non-positive curvature, then such a map is harmonic. We then give applications to…

In this note, we generalize biharmonic equation for rotationally symmetric maps ([4], [16], [10]) to equivariant maps between model spaces and use it to give a complete classification of rotationally symmetric conformal biharmonic maps from…

We prove that, in general, given a $p$-harmonic map $F:M\to N$ and a convex function $H:N\to\mathbb{R}$, the composition $H\circ F$ is not $p$-subharmonic. By assuming some rotational symmetry on manifolds and functions, we reduce the…

We relate the existence problem of harmonic maps into $S^2$ to the convex geometry of $S^2$. On one hand, this allows us to construct new examples of harmonic maps of degree 0 from compact surfaces of arbitrary genus into $S^2$. On the…

Harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces arise from a conformally invariant variational problem. Therefore, on one hand, they are intimately connected with moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, and on the other hand, because the conformal group is…

Motivated by the theory of harmonic maps on Riemannian surfaces, conformal-harmonic maps between two Riemannian manifolds $M$ and $N$ were introduced in search of a natural notion of harmonicity for maps defined on a general even…

We study biharmonic maps and f-biharmonic maps from a round sphere $(S^2, g_0)$, the latter maps are equivalent to biharmonic maps from Riemann spheres $(S^2, f^{-1}g_0)$. We proved that for rotationally symmetric maps between rotationally…

We study conjugate-type phenomena for complex-valued harmonic quasiregular mappings in the unit disk across three function space families: $Q(n,p,\alpha)$, $F(p,q,s)$, and the non-derivative $M(p,q,s)$. For a harmonic $K$-quasiregular…
