CR-HARMONIC MAPS

I ) Introduction 1 to CR geometry and subelliptic harmonic maps . II ) Boundary values of Bergman - harmonic maps

We give an elementary introduction to CR and pseudohermitian geometry, starting from H. Lewy’s legacy (cf. [20]) i.e. tangential Cauchy-Riemann equations on the boundary of the Siegel domain. In this context we describe fundamental objects, such as contact structures, Levi forms, the Tanaka-Webster connection and the Fefferman metric (cf. e.g. [4]). Also naturally arising Hörmander systems of v...

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.

Lectures on Harmonic Maps

§1 Background and Setup Let M be an m-dimensional, compact, Riemannian manifold endowed with the metric dsM = gij dx i dx , where {x, x, · · · , x} is a local coordinate system of M. Suppose N is an n-dimensional, complete, Riemannian manifold with metric given by dsN = hαβ du α du , where {u, u, · · · , u} is a local coordinate system of N. Let f : M → N be a C mapping from M into N . Definiti...
