Stability of $F$-harmonic maps into pinched manifolds

Harmonic Maps and Stability on f-Kenmotsu Manifolds

In Section 2, we give preliminaries on f-Kenmotsu manifolds. The concept of f-Kenmotsu manifold, where f is a real constant, appears for the first time in the paper of Jannsens and Vanhecke 1 . More recently, Olszak and Roşca 2 defined and studied the f-Kenmotsu manifold by the formula 2.3 , where f is a function on M such that df ∧ η 0. Here, η is the dual 1-form corresponding to the character...

Stable Exponentially Harmonic Maps Between Finsler Manifolds

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.

Quasiconformal Harmonic Maps into Negatively Curved Manifolds

Let F : M → N be a harmonic map between complete Riemannian manifolds. Assume that N is simply connected with sectional curvature bounded between two negative constants. If F is a quasiconformal harmonic diffeomorphism, then M supports an infinite dimensional space of bounded harmonic functions. On the other hand, if M supports no non-constant bounded harmonic functions, then any harmonic map o...
