Compactness Results for Sequences of Approximate Biharmonic Maps

Energy identity of approximate biharmonic maps to Riemannian manifolds and its application

We consider in dimension four weakly convergent sequences of approximate biharmonic maps to a Riemannian manifold with bi-tension fields bounded in L for p > 4 3 . We prove an energy identity that accounts for the loss of hessian energies by the sum of hessian energies over finitely many nontrivial biharmonic maps on R. As a corollary, we obtain an energy identity for the heat flow of biharmoni...

Energy identity for a class of approximate biharmonic maps into sphere in dimension four

We consider in dimension four weakly convergent sequences of approximate biharmonic maps into sphere with bi-tension fields bounded in L for some p > 1. We prove an energy identity that accounts for the loss of Hessian energies by the sum of Hessian energies over finitely many nontrivial biharmonic maps on R.

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.

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...
