Embedding of open riemannian manifolds by harmonic functions

Robert E. Greene, H. Wu (1975)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let M be a noncompact Riemannian manifold of dimension n . Then there exists a proper embedding of M into R 2 n + 1 by harmonic functions on M . It is easy to find 2 n + 1 harmonic functions which give an embedding. However, it is more difficult to achieve properness. The proof depends on the theorems of Lax-Malgrange and Aronszajn-Cordes in the theory of elliptic equations.

Invariant harmonic unit vector fields on Lie groups

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

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

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...
