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.

We study the helicity density patterns which can result from the emerging bipolar regions. Using the relevant dynamo model and the magnetic helicity conservation law we find that the helicity density patterns around the bipolar regions depend on the configuration of the ambient large-scale magnetic field, and in general they show a quadrupole distribution. The position of this pattern relative to the equator can depend on the tilt of the bipolar region. We compute the time–latitude diagrams of the helicity density evolution. The longitudinally averaged effect of the bipolar regions shows two bands of sign for the density distributions in each hemisphere. Similar helicity density patterns are provided by the helicity density flux from the emerging bipolar regions subjected to surface differential rotation.
