Projectively flat Finsler metrics with orthogonal invariance

Libing Huang, Xiaohuan Mo (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We study Finsler metrics with orthogonal invariance. By determining an expression of these Finsler metrics we find a PDE equivalent to these metrics being locally projectively flat. After investigating this PDE we manufacture projectively flat Finsler metrics with orthogonal invariance in terms of error functions.

Quadratic harmonic morphisms and O-systems

Ye-Lin Ou (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We introduce O-systems (Definition 3.1) of orthogonal transformations of m , and establish correspondences both between equivalence classes of Clifford systems and those of O-systems, and between O-systems and orthogonal multiplications of the form μ : n × m m , which allow us to solve the existence problems both for O -systems and for umbilical quadratic harmonic morphisms simultaneously. The existence problem for general quadratic harmonic morphisms is then solved by the Splitting Lemma. We also study properties...

Quaternionic maps and minimal surfaces

Jingyi Chen, Jiayu Li (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Let ( M , J α , α = 1 , 2 , 3 ) and ( N , 𝒥 α , α = 1 , 2 , 3 ) be hyperkähler manifolds. We study stationary quaternionic maps between M and N . We first show that if there are no holomorphic 2-spheres in the target then any sequence of stationary quaternionic maps with bounded energy subconverges to a stationary quaternionic map strongly in W 1 , 2 ( M , N ) . We then find that certain tangent maps of quaternionic maps give rise to an interesting minimal 2-sphere. At last we construct a stationary quaternionic map with a codimension-3 singular set by using the embedded...
