Conformal Maps, Biharmonic Maps, and the Warped Product

Biharmonic Maps between Doubly Warped Product Manifolds

In this paper biharmonic maps between doubly warped product manifolds are studied. We show that the inclusion maps of Riemannian manifolds B and F into the doubly warped product f B ×b F can not be proper biharmonic maps. Also we analyze the conditions for the biharmonicity of projections f B ×b F → B and f B ×b F → F , respectively. Some characterizations for non-harmonic biharmonic maps are g...

f -BIHARMONIC MAPS BETWEEN DOUBLY WARPED PRODUCT MANIFOLDS

A. In this paper, by applying the first variation formula of f -bi-energy given in [OND], we study f -biharmonic maps between doubly warped product manifolds M ×(μ,λ) N. Under imposing existence condition concerning proper f -biharmonic maps, we derive f -biharmonicity’s characteristic equations for the inclusion maps: iy0 : (M, g) → (M ×(μ,λ) N, ḡ), ix0 : (N, h) → (M ×(μ,λ) N, ḡ) and th...

Stability of F-biharmonic maps

This paper studies some properties of F-biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. By considering the first variation formula of the F-bienergy functional, F-biharmonicity of conformal maps are investigated. Moreover, the second variation formula for F-biharmonic maps is obtained. As an application, instability and nonexistence theorems for F-biharmonic maps are given.

Harmonic Maps and Biharmonic Maps

This is a survey on harmonic maps and biharmonic maps into (1) Riemannian manifolds of non-positive curvature, (2) compact Lie groups or (3) compact symmetric spaces, based mainly on my recent works on these topics.
