In this paper, we discuss the associated family of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type which are either algebraic or totally symmetric. These…

A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…

In this note, we show that for any harmonic map into a non-compact symmetric space one can find naturally a "dual" harmonic map into a compact symmetric space which can be constructed from the same basic data (called "potentials" in the…

Given a closed Riemannian manifold $(N^{n+1},g)$, $n+1 \geq 3$ we prove the compactness of the space of singular, minimal hypersurfaces in $N$ whose volumes are uniformly bounded from above and the $p$-th Jacobi eigenvalue $\lambda_p$'s are…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a Lipschitz domain, and consider a harmonic map $v: \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{S}^2$ with boundary data $v|\partial\Omega = \varphi$ which minimises the Dirichlet energy. For $p\geq 2$, we show that any…

We study harmonic maps from Riemannian manifolds into arbitrary non-positively curved and CAT(-1) metric spaces. First we discuss the domain variation formula with special emphasis on the error terms. Expanding higher order terms of this…

We provide a fine description of the weak limit of sequences of regular axisymmetric maps with equibounded neo-Hookean energy, under the assumption that they have finite surface energy. We prove that these weak limits have a dipole…

We extend harmonic map techniques to the setting of more general differential equations in conformal geometry. We obtain an extension of Siu's rigidity to Kahler-Weyl geometry and apply the latter to Vaisman's conjecture. Other applications…

In a recent paper the author introduced a new method based on viscosity techniques for producing minimal surfaces by minmax arguments. The present work corresponds to the regularity part of the method. Precisely we establish that any weakly…

In this paper, we study the existence of various harmonic maps from Hermitian manifolds to Kaehler, Hermitian and Riemannian manifolds respectively. By using refined Bochner formulas on Hermitian (possibly non-Kaehler) manifolds, we derive…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact oriented surface and $N$ a compact K\"ahler manifold with nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature. For a solution of harmonic map flow starting from an almost-holomorphic map $\Sigma \to N$ (in the energy…

We describe for any Riemannian manifold a certain infinitesimal neighbourhood of the diagonal. Semi-conformal maps are analyzed as those that preserve such neighbourhoods; harmonic maps are analyzed as those that preserve mirror image…

A harmonic map from a Riemannian manifold into a Grassmannian manifold is characterized by a vector bundle, a space of sections of this bundle and a Laplace operator. We apply our main theorem, itself a generalization of a Theorem of…

We consider minimising $p$-harmonic maps from three-dimensional domains to the real projective plane, for $1<p<2$. These maps arise as least-energy configurations in variational models for nematic liquid crystals. We show that the singular…

We consider biharmonic maps $\phi:(M,g)\rightarrow (N,h)$ from a complete Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature. Assume that $\alpha$ satisfies $1<\alpha<\infty$. If for such an $\alpha$,…

We study the problem of classifying the holomorphic $(m,n)$-subharmonic morphisms in complex space. This determines which holomorphic mappings preserves $m$-subharmonicity in the sense that the composition of the holomorphic mapping with a…

The reduction of biharmonic maps equation in terms of the Maurer-Cartan form for all smooth map of any compact Riemannian manifolds into a compact Lie group with bi-invariant Riemannian metric is obtained. By this formula, all the…

We extend the well-known Sacks-Uhlenbeck energy gap result (1981) for harmonic maps from closed Riemann surfaces into closed Riemannian manifolds from the case of maps with small energy (thus near a constant map), to the case of harmonic…

In this paper, we prove first that the iterates of a mean nonexpansive map defined on a weakly compact, convex set converge weakly to a fixed point in the presence of Opial's property and asymptotic regularity at a point. Next, we prove the…

The main aim of this paper is to prove the existence of certain proper weakly $r$-harmonic ($ES-r$-harmonic) maps. We construct critical points which belong to a family of rotationally symmetric maps $\varphi_a : B^n \to \mathbb{S}^n$,…
