A sharpening of a theorem of Bouligand. With an application to harmonic maps.
In the present paper we give some properties of -biharmonic hypersurfaces in real space forms. By using the -biharmonic equation for a hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold, we characterize the -biharmonicity of constant mean curvature and totally umbilical hypersurfaces in a Riemannian manifold and, in particular, in a real space form. As an example, we consider -biharmonic vertical cylinders in .
This paper is devoted to a study of harmonic mappings of a harmonic space on a harmonic space which are related to a family of harmonic mappings of into . In this way balayage in may be reduced to balayage in . In particular, a subset of is polar if and only if is polar. Similar result for thinness. These considerations are applied to the heat equation and the Laplace equation.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of symplectic harmonic maps between tamed manifolds and establish some properties. In the case where the manifolds are almost Hermitian manifolds, we obtain a new method to contruct harmonic maps with minimal fibres. We finally present examples of such applications between projectives spaces.
Nous définissons une ntoion d’énergie pour des applications entre deux graphes métriques finis et cherchons à minimiser l’énergie au sein d’une classe d’homotopie. Nous démontrons des théorèmes d’existence et d’unicité analogues à ceux de Eells-Sampson et de Hartman pour les applications harmoniques à valeurs dans les variétés à courbure négative ou nulle. Nous montrons également une propriété de stabilité des applications minimisantes par rapport aux revêtements de degré fini à la source. Une application...
