Invariant harmonic unit vector fields on Lie groups

J. C. González-Dávila, L. Vanhecke (2002)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

We provide a new characterization of invariant harmonic unit vector fields on Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant metric. We use it to derive existence results and to construct new examples on Lie groups equipped with a bi-invariant metric, on three-dimensional Lie groups, on generalized Heisenberg groups, on Damek-Ricci spaces and on particular semi-direct products. In several cases a complete list of such vector fields is given. Furthermore, for a lot of the examples we determine associated...

Invariant harmonic unit vector fields on the oscillator groups

Na Xu, Ju Tan (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We find all the left-invariant harmonic unit vector fields on the oscillator groups. Besides, we determine the associated harmonic maps from the oscillator group into its unit tangent bundle equipped with the associated Sasaki metric. Moreover, we investigate the stability and instability of harmonic unit vector fields on compact quotients of four dimensional oscillator group G 1 ( 1 ) .

Invariant orders in Lie groups

Neeb, Karl-Hermann (1991)

Proceedings of the Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0742.00067.]The author formulates several theorems about invariant orders in Lie groups (without proofs). The main theorem: a simply connected Lie group G admits a continuous invariant order if and only if its Lie algebra L ( G ) contains a pointed invariant cone. V. M. Gichev has proved this theorem for solvable simply connected Lie groups (1989). If G is solvable and simply connected then all pointed invariant cones W in L ( G ) are global in G (a Lie wedge W L ( G ) is said to...
