Recent Developments

Recent developments extend much of the known theory of classical harmonic maps between smooth Riemannian manifolds to the case when the target is a metric space of curvature bounded from above. In particular, the existence and regularity theorems for harmonic maps into these singular spaces have been successfully generalized. Furthermore, the uniqueness of harmonic maps is known when the domain has a boundary (with a smallness of image condition if the target curvature is bounded from above by a positive number). In this paper, we will address the question of uniqueness when the domain space is without a boundary in two cases: one, when the curvature of the target is strictly negative and two, for a map between surfaces with nonpositive target curvature.

AbstractIn 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. Such connections have already been classified in the work of Cartan (1924). The maps under consideration do not arise as critical points of an energy functional leading to interesting mathematical challenges. We will perform a first mathematical analysis of these maps which we will call harmonic maps with torsion.

In this paper, we give some rigidity results for both harmonic and pseudoharmonic maps from pseudo-Hermitian manifolds into Riemannian manifolds or Kähler manifolds. Some foliated results, pluriharmonicity and Siu–Sampson type results are established for both harmonic maps and pseudoharmonic maps.

Harmonic Maps With Potential

AbstractLet M, N be Riemannian manifolds, f: M → N a harmonic map with potential H, namely, a smooth critical point of the functional EH(f) = ∫M[e(f)−H(f)], where e(f) is the energy density of f. Some results concerning the stability of these maps between spheres and any Riemannian manifold are given. For a general class of M, this paper also gives a result on the constant boundary-value problem which generalizes the result of Karcher-Wood even in the case of the usual harmonic maps. It can also be applied to the static Landau-Lifshitz equations.

We generalize the notions of transversally harmonic maps between foliated Riemannian manifolds into transversally biharmonic maps. We show that a transversally biharmonic map into a foliated manifold of non-positive transverse curvature is transversally harmonic. Then we construct examples of transversally biharmonic non-harmonic maps into foliated manifolds of positive transverse curvature. We also prove that if f is a stable transversally biharmonic map into a foliated manifold of positive constant transverse sectional curvature and f satisfies the transverse conservation law, then f is a transversally harmonic map.
