0 Se p 20 07 JACOBI FIELDS ALONG HARMONIC 2 - SPHERES IN S 3 AND S 4 ARE NOT ALL INTEGRABLE
نویسنده
چکیده
In a previous paper, we showed that any Jacobi field along a harmonic map from the 2-sphere to the complex projective plane is integrable (i.e., is tangent to a smooth variation through harmonic maps). In this paper, in contrast, we show that there are (non-full) harmonic maps from the 2-sphere to the 3-sphere and 4sphere which have non-integrable Jacobi fields. This is particularly surprising in the case of the 3-sphere where the space of harmonic maps of any degree is a smooth manifold, each map having image in a totally geodesic 2-sphere.

2 1 Se p 20 06 THE FOURIER EXTENSION OPERATOR ON LARGE SPHERES AND RELATED OSCILLATORY
We obtain new estimates for a class of oscillatory integral operators with folding canonical relations satisfying a curvature condition. The main lower bounds showing sharpness are proved using Kakeya set constructions. As a special case of the upper bounds we deduce optimal L p (S 2) → L q (RS 2) estimates for the Fourier extension operator on large spheres in R 3 , which are uniform in the ra...
متن کاملAnother Report on Harmonic Maps
(1.1) Some of the main results described in [Report] are the following (in rough terms; notations and precise references will be given below): (1) A map (f>:{M,g)-+(N,h) between Riemannian manifolds which is continuous and of class L\ is harmonic if and only if it is a critical point of the energy functional. (2) Let (M, g) and (N, h) be compact, and <̂ 0: (M, g) -> (N, h) a map. Then ^0 can be ...
متن کاملGeodesic Flow on the n-Dimensional Ellipsoid as a Liouville Integrable System
We show that the motion on the n-dimensional ellipsoid is complete integrable by exihibiting n integrals in involution. The system is separable at classical and quantum level, the separation of classical variables being realized by the inverse of the momentum map. This system is a generic one in a new class of n-dimensional complete integrable Hamiltonians defined by an arbitrary function f(q, ...
متن کاملThe Schrödinger Equation in a Periodic Field and Riemann Surfaces
1. Consider the two-dimensional Schrödinger equation Ĥψ = Eψ or Ĥψ = i∂ψ/∂t, where Ĥ = (i∂/∂x−A1)+(i∂/∂y−A2)+u(x, y), the potential u(x, y) and vector potential (A1, A2) being periodic in (x, y) with periods T1, T2. In the nonstationary case u,A1, A2 also depend on the time. The magnetic field is directed along the z-axis and has zero flux: ∫ T1 0 ∫ T2 0 H(x, y) dx dy = 0. We wish to find the w...
متن کاملHarmonic semifields.
Communicated by S. S. Cherm, October 31, 1966 1. The solution of the principal field problem on arbitrary Riemannian spaces is given in reference 2. In the present note we consider the class S of harmonic semifields, intermediate between the class F of harmonic fields and the class H of harmonic forms. The definitions are as follows. On a given Riemannian space V let A' = 6d, A` = d6, A = A' + ...
متن کاملData-Driven Sub-Riemannian Geodesics in SE(2)
We present a new flexible wavefront propagation algorithm for the boundary value problem for sub-Riemannian (SR) geodesics in the roto-translation group SE(2) = R o S with a metric tensor depending on a smooth external cost C : SE(2) → [δ, 1], δ > 0, computed from image data. The method consists of a first step where geodesically equidistant surfaces are computed as a viscosity solution of a Ha...
