We discuss non-conformal harmonic surfaces in $R^3$ with prescribed ($\pm$)transforms, and we get a representation formula for non-conformal harmonic surfaces in $R^3$.
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…
This is a review paper about symmetric products of spaces $SP^n(X):= X^n/S_n$. We focus our attention on the symmetric products of 2-manifolds and make a journey through selected topics of algebraic topology, algebraic geometry,…
In this expository article, we outline the theory of harmonic differential forms and its consequences. We provide self-contained proofs of the following important results in differential geometry: (1) Hodge theorem, which states that for a…
We bound the $L^2$-norm of an $L^2$ harmonic $1$-form in an orientable cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ by its topological complexity, measured by the Thurston norm, up to a constant depending on $M$. It generalizes two inequalities of…
We produce a rational homology 3-sphere that does not smoothly bound either a positive or negative definite 4-manifold. Such a 3-manifold necessarily cannot be rational homology cobordant to a Seifert fibered space or any 3-manifold…
We prove the existence of nonconstant harmonic maps of optimal regularity from an arbitrary closed manifold $(M^n,g)$ of dimension $n>2$ to any closed, non-aspherical manifold $N$ containing no stable minimal two-spheres. In particular,…
We discuss our recent results on the existence and classification problem of complex and Kaehler structures on compact solvmanifolds. In particular, we determine in this paper all the complex surfaces which are diffeomorphic to compact…
The paper generalizes some of the well-known results for K3 surfaces to higher-dimensional irreducible symplectic (or, equivalently, compact irreducible hyperkaehler) manifolds. In particular, we discuss the projectivity of such manifolds…
We discuss the stabilization of symmetric products Sym^n(X) of a smooth projective variety X in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. For smooth projective surfaces X with non-zero h^0(X, \omega_X), these products do not stabilize; we…
We discuss K3 surfaces in characteristic two that contain the Kummer configuration formed by smooth rational curves on it.
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…
Let M be a simply-connected complete Kahler manifold whose sectional curvature is bounded between two negative numbers. In this paper we prove the existence of non-constant bounded holomorphic functions on M if the complex dimension of M is…
A quantum particle on a circle in a quadratic potential exhibits a spectrum that is not harmonic, despite having all algebraic properties of the quantum harmonic oscillator. This raises the question where the usual algebraic argument --…
We characterize homogeneous hypersurfaces in complex space forms which arise as critical points of a higher order energy functional. As a consequence, we obtain existence and non-existence results for $\mathbb{CP}^n$ and $\mathbb{CH}^n$,…
Given a variety over a number field, are its rational points potentially dense, i.e., does there exist a finite extension over which rational points are Zariski dense? We study the question of potential density for symmetric products of…
We prove some results on the fibers and images of rational maps from a hyper-K\"ahler manifold. We study in particular the minimal genus of fibers of a fibration into curves. The last section of this paper is devoted to the study of the…
We investigate harmonic forms of geometrically formal metrics, which are defined as those having the exterior product of any two harmonic forms still harmonic. We prove that a formal Sasakian metric can exist only on a real cohomology…
It is shown that any compact K\"ahler manifold $M$ gives canonically rise to two strongly homotopy algebras, the first one being associated with the Hodge theory of the de Rham complex and the second one with the Hodge theory of the…
The authors showed in a preceding paper that in a connected locally harmonic manifold, the volume of a tube of small radius about a regularly parameterized simple arc depends only on the length of the arc and the radius. In this paper, we…
