Harmonic morphisms between riemannian manifolds

Bent Fuglede (1978)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

A harmonic morphism f : M N between Riemannian manifolds M and N is by definition a continuous mappings which pulls back harmonic functions. It is assumed that dim M dim N , since otherwise every harmonic morphism is constant. It is shown that a harmonic morphism is the same as a harmonic mapping in the sense of Eells and Sampson with the further property of being semiconformal, that is, a conformal submersion of the points where d f vanishes. Every non-constant harmonic morphism is shown to be an open mapping....

Harmonie reflections

Lieven Vanhecke, Maria-Elena Vazquez-Abal (1988)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We study local reflections ϕ σ with respect to a curve σ in a Riemannian manifold and prove that σ is a geodesic if ϕ σ is a harmonic map. Moreover, we prove that the Riemannian manifold has constant curvature if and only if ϕ σ is harmonic for all geodesies σ .

High-order angles in almost-Riemannian geometry

Ugo Boscain, Mario Sigalotti (2006/2007)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

Let X and Y be two smooth vector fields on a two-dimensional manifold M . If X and Y are everywhere linearly independent, then they define a Riemannian metric on M (the metric for which they are orthonormal) and they give to M the structure of metric space. If X and Y become linearly dependent somewhere on M , then the corresponding Riemannian metric has singularities, but under generic conditions the metric structure is still well defined. Metric structures that can be defined locally in this way...
