Conformal foliations on Lie groups and complex-valued harmonic morphisms

Differential Geometry 2020-10-28 v2

Abstract

We study left-invariant foliations F\mathcal{F} on Riemannian Lie groups GG generated by a subgroup KK. We are interested in such foliations which are conformal and with minimal leaves of codimension two. We classify such foliations F\mathcal{F} when the subgroup KK is one of the important SU(2)×SU(2)\textbf{SU}(2)\times\textbf{SU}(2), SU(2)×SL2(R)\textbf{SU}(2)\times\textbf{SL}_2(\mathbb{R}), SU(2)×SO(2)\textbf{SU}(2)\times\textbf{SO}(2) or SL2(R)×SO(2)\textbf{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})\times\textbf{SO}(2). By this we yield new multi-dimensional families of Lie groups GG carrying such foliations in each case. These foliations F\mathcal{F} produce local complex-valued harmonic morphisms on the corresponding Lie group GG.
