We obtain conditions on the Lee form under which a holomorphic map between almost Hermitian manifolds is a harmonic map or morphism. Then we discuss under what conditions (i) the image of a holomorphic map from a cosymplectic manifold is…

The eigenfamilies of Gudmundsson and Sakovich can be used to generate harmonic morphisms, proper $r$-harmonic maps, and minimal co-dimension $2$ submanifolds. This article begins by characterising the globally defined eigenfamilies of the…

In this work we introduce a new method for the construction of minimal submanifolds of codimension two in even dimensional spheres and hyperbolic spaces. This is based on the theory of complex-valued harmonic morphisms. This gives the first…

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…

Conformal harmonic maps from a 4-dimensional conformal manifold to a Riemannian manifold are maps satisfying a certain conformally invariant fourth order equation. We prove a general existence result for conformal harmonic maps, analogous…

We define harmonic maps between sub-Riemannian manifolds by generalizing known definitions for Riemannian manifolds. We establish conditions for when a horizontal map into a Lie group with a left-invariant metric structure is a harmonic…

We study a geometrical condition (PHWC) which is weaker than horizontal weak conformality. In particular, we show that harmonic maps satisfying this condition, which will be called {\em pseudoharmonic morphisms}, include harmonic morphisms…

P. Baird and the second author studied harmonic morphisms from a three-dimensional simply-connected space form to a surface and obtained a complete local and global classification of them. In this paper, we obtain a description of all…

In the present paper, we study harmonic mappings of complete Riemannian manifolds, as well as minimal and stable minimal submanifolds of complete Riemannian manifolds. We examine classical theorems in the theory of these manifolds from the…

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.…

Harmonicity of holomorphic maps between various subclasses of almost contact metric manifolds is discussed. Consequently, some new results are obtained. Also some known results are recovered, some of them are generalized and some of them…
