POLYNOMIAL GROWTH HARMONIC MAPS ON COMPLETE RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS

Hermitian harmonic maps from complete Hermitian manifolds to complete Riemannian manifolds

In this paper we study a nonlinear elliptic system of equations imposed on a map from a complete Hermitian (non-Kähler) manifold to a Riemannian manifold. This system is more appropriate to Hermitian geometry than the harmonic map system since it is compatible with the holomorphic structure of the domain manifold in the sense that holomorphic maps are Hermitian harmonic maps. It was first studi...

ON f -BI-HARMONIC MAPS BETWEEN RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS

A. Both bi-harmonic map and f -harmonic map have nice physical motivation and applications. In this paper, by combination of these two harmonic maps, we introduce and study f -bi-harmonic maps as the critical points of the f -bi-energy functional 1 2 ∫ M f |τ(φ)| dvg. This class of maps generalizes both concepts of harmonic maps and biharmonic maps. We first derive the f -biharmonic map ...

Stable Exponentially Harmonic Maps Between Finsler Manifolds

Polynomial Regression on Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper we develop the theory of parametric polynomial regression in Riemannian manifolds and Lie groups. We show application of Riemannian polynomial regression to shape analysis in Kendall shape space. Results are presented, showing the power of polynomial regression on the classic rat skull growth data of Bookstein as well as the analysis of the shape changes associated with aging of t...

Removability of singularities of harmonic maps into pseudo-riemannian manifolds

We consider harmonic maps into pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We show the removability of isolated singularities for continuous maps, i.e. that any continuous map from an open subset of R into a pseudoRiemannian manifold which is two times continuously differentiable and harmonic everywhere outside an isolated point is actually smooth harmonic everywhere. Introduction Given n ∈ N and two nonnegat...
