Harmonic Morphisms on Conformally Flat 3-spheres

چکیده
We show that under some non-degeneracy assumption the only submersive harmonic morphism on a conformally flat 3−sphere is the Hopf fibration. The proof involves an appropriate use the Chern-Simons functional.

Harmonic Morphisms with One-dimensional Fibres on Conformally-flat Riemannian Manifolds
We classify the harmonic morphisms with one-dimensional fibres (1) from real-analytic conformally-flat Riemannian manifolds of dimension at least four, and (2) between conformally-flat Riemannian manifolds of dimensions at least three.
متن کاملConformally Flat Submanifolds in Spheres and Integrable Systems
É. Cartan proved that conformally flat hypersurfaces in Sn+1 for n > 3 have at most two distinct principal curvatures and locally envelop a one-parameter family of (n − 1)-spheres. We prove that the Gauss-Codazzi equation for conformally flat hypersurfaces in S4 is a soliton equation, and use a dressing action from soliton theory to construct geometric Ribaucour transforms of these hypersurface...

We construct large families of harmonic morphisms which are holomorphic with respect to Hermitian structures by finding heierarchies of Weierstrass-type representations. This enables us to find new examples of complex-valued harmonic mor-phisms from Euclidean spaces and spheres.
متن کاملMultilinear Evolution Equations for Time-Harmonic Flows in Conformally Flat Manifolds
It is shown that time-harmonic hypersurface motions in various, conformally flat, N -dimensional manifolds admit a multilinear description, L̇ = {L,M1, · · · ,MN−2}, automatically generating infinitely many conserved quantities, as well as leading to new (integrable) matrix equations. Interestingly, the conformal factor can be changed without changing L. ∗ Heisenberg Fellow On leave of absence f...
متن کاملHarmonic morphisms, conformal foliations and shear-free ray congruences
Equivalences between conformal foliations on Euclidean 3-space, Hermitian structures on Euclidean 4-space, shear-free ray congruences on Minkowski 4-space, and holomorphic foliations on complex 4-space are explained geometrically and twistorially; these are used to show that 1) any real-analytic complex-valued harmonic morphism without critical points defined on an open subset of Minkowski spac...
