In the joint work of the author with Da Lio and Rivi\`ere (Morse Index Stability for Sequences of Sacks-Uhlenbeck Maps into a Sphere) we studied the stability of the Morse index for Sacks-Uhlenbeck sequences into spheres as $p\searrow2$.…

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…

In this paper we consider sequences of $p$-harmonic maps, $p>2$, from a closed Riemann surface $\Sigma$ into the $n$-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ with uniform bounded energy. These are critical points of the energy $E_p(u)…

In a recent work, F. Da Lio, M. Gianocca, and T. Rivi\`ere developped a new method to show upper semi-continuity results in geometric analysis, which they applied to conformally invariant Lagrangians in dimension $2$ (that include harmonic…

Energy identity for harmonic type maps in supercritical dimensions is an important and difficult problem. For sphere-valued harmonic maps, the first breakthrough was achieved by Lin-Rivi\`ere [Duke Math. J. 2002]. In this paper, by adapting…

In this paper we study the behaviour of critical points of the Ginzburg-Landau perturbation of the Dirichlet energy into the sphere $E_\varepsilon(u):=\int_\Sigma \frac{1}{2}|du|^2_h\ \,dvol_h…

Biharmonic maps are the critical points of the bienergy functional and generalise harmonic maps. We investigate the index of a class of biharmonic maps, derived from minimal Riemannian immersions into spheres. This study is motivated by…

In this paper we are concerned with harmonic maps and minimal immersions defined on compact Riemannian manifolds and with values in homogenous strongly harmonic manifolds. We show some results on the Morse index by varying these maps along…

A global weak solution of the biharmonic wave map equation in the energy space for spherical targets is constructed. The equation is reformulated as a conservation law and solved by a suitable Ginzburg-Landau type approximation.

We consider the energy and bienergy functionals as variational problems on the set of Riemannian metrics and present a study of the biharmonic stress-energy tensor. This approach is then applied to characterise weak conformality of the…

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 paper, we first study the $\alpha-$energy functional, Euler-Lagrange operator and $\alpha$-stress energy tensor. Second, it is shown that the critical points of $\alpha-$ energy functional are explicitly related to harmonic maps…

We compute a Simons' type formula for the stress-energy tensor of biharmonic maps from surfaces. Specializing to Riemannian immersions, we prove several rigidity results for biharmonic CMC surfaces, putting in evidence the influence of the…

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…

Motivated by the rich theory of harmonic maps from a 2-sphere, we study biharmonic maps from a 2-sphere in this paper. We first derive biharmonic equation for rotationally symmetric maps between rotationally symmetric 2-manifolds. We then…

In this paper, the description of biharmonic map equation in terms of the Maurer-Cartan form for all smooth map of a compact Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian symmetric space $(G/K,h)$ induced from the bi-invariant Riemannian metric $h$…

This note reviews some of the recent work on biharmonic conformal maps (see \cite{OC}, Chapter 11, for a detailed survey). It will be focused on biharmonic conformal immersions and biharmonic conformal maps between manifolds of the same…

In this paper, we motivate and extend the study of harmonic maps or $\Phi_{(1)}$-harmonic maps (cf [15], Remark 1.3 (iii)), $\Phi$-harmonic maps or $\Phi_{(2)}$-harmonic maps (cf. [24], Remark 1.3 (v)), and explore geometric properties of…

In recent years, the study of the bienergy functional has attracted the attention of a large community of researchers, but there are not many examples where the second variation of this functional has been thoroughly studied. We shall focus…

This paper establishes Lipschitz stability for the simultaneous recovery of a variable density coefficient and the initial displacement in a damped biharmonic wave equation. The data consist of the boundary Cauchy data for the Laplacian of…
