Perturbations of the harmonic map equation

Thomas Kappeler (2002)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

We consider perturbations of the harmonic map equation in the case where the source and target manifolds are closed riemannian manifolds and the latter is in addition of nonpositive sectional curvature. For any semilinear and, under some extra conditions, quasilinear perturbation, the space of classical solutions within a homotopy class is proved to be compact. For generic perturbations the set of solutions is finite and we present a count of this set. An important ingredient for our analysis is...

Projective-type differential invariants and geometric curve evolutions of KdV-type in flat homogeneous manifolds

Gloria Marí Beffa (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we describe moving frames and differential invariants for curves in two different | 1 | -graded parabolic manifolds G / H , G = O ( p + 1 , q + 1 ) and G = O ( 2 m , 2 m ) , and we define differential invariants of projective-type. We then show that, in the first case, there are geometric flows in G / H inducing equations of KdV-type in the projective-type differential invariants when proper initial conditions are chosen. We also show that geometric Poisson brackets in the space of differential invariants of curves in G / H can be reduced...
