Conformal ℱ-harmonic maps for Finsler manifolds

Jintang Li (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

By introducing the ℱ-stress energy tensor of maps from an n-dimensional Finsler manifold to a Finsler manifold and assuming that (n-2)ℱ(t)'- 2tℱ(t)'' ≠ 0 for any t ∈ [0,∞), we prove that any conformal strongly ℱ-harmonic map must be homothetic. This assertion generalizes the results by He and Shen for harmonics map and by Ara for the Riemannian case.

Conformal nullity of isotropic submanifolds

Vladimir Rovenski (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We introduce and study submanifolds with extrinsic curvature and second fundamental form related by an inequality that holds for isotropic submanifolds and becomes equality for totally umbilical submanifolds. The dimension of umbilical subspaces and the index of conformal nullity of these submanifolds with low codimension are estimated from below. The corollaries are characterizations of extrinsic spheres in Riemannian spaces of positive curvature.

Conformally geodesic mappings satisfying a certain initial condition

Hana Chudá, Josef Mikeš (2011)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper we study conformally geodesic mappings between pseudo-Riemannian manifolds ( M , g ) and ( M ¯ , g ¯ ) , i.e. mappings f : M M ¯ satisfying f = f 1 f 2 f 3 , where f 1 , f 3 are conformal mappings and f 2 is a geodesic mapping. Suppose that the initial condition f * g ¯ = k g is satisfied at a point x 0 M and that at this point the conformal Weyl tensor does not vanish. We prove that then f is necessarily conformal.
