Harmonic and Minimal Unit Vector Fields on the Symmetric Spaces G 2 and G 2 / S O ( 4 )

László Verhóczki (2012)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

The exceptional compact symmetric spaces G 2 and G 2 / S O ( 4 ) admit cohomogeneity one isometric actions with two totally geodesic singular orbits. These singular orbits are not reflective submanifolds of the ambient spaces. We prove that the radial unit vector fields associated to these isometric actions are harmonic and minimal.

Harmonic maps and representations of non-uniform lattices of PU ( m , 1 )

Vincent Koziarz, Julien Maubon (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study representations of lattices of PU ( m , 1 ) into PU ( n , 1 ) . We show that if a representation is reductive and if m is at least 2, then there exists a finite energy harmonic equivariant map from complex hyperbolic m -space to complex hyperbolic n -space. This allows us to give a differential geometric proof of rigidity results obtained by M. Burger and A. Iozzi. We also define a new invariant associated to representations into PU ( n , 1 ) of non-uniform lattices in PU ( 1 , 1 ) , and more generally of fundamental groups of orientable...

Harmonicity of vector fields on four-dimensional generalized symmetric spaces

Giovanni Calvaruso (2012)

Open Mathematics

Let (M = G/H;g)denote a four-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian generalized symmetric space and g = m + h the corresponding decomposition of the Lie algebra g of G. We completely determine the harmonicity properties of vector fields belonging to m. In some cases, all these vector fields are critical points for the energy functional restricted to vector fields. Vector fields defining harmonic maps are also classified, and the energy of these vector fields is explicitly calculated.

Holomorphic retractions and boundary Berezin transforms

Jonathan Arazy, Miroslav Engliš, Wilhelm Kaup (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In an earlier paper, the first two authors have shown that the convolution of a function f continuous on the closure of a Cartan domain and a K -invariant finite measure μ on that domain is again continuous on the closure, and, moreover, its restriction to any boundary face F depends only on the restriction of f to F and is equal to the convolution, in  F , of the latter restriction with some measure μ F on F uniquely determined by  μ . In this article, we give an explicit formula for μ F in terms of  F ,...
