ON f -BI-HARMONIC MAPS BETWEEN RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS

چکیده
A. Both bi-harmonic map and f -harmonic map have nice physical motivation and applications. In this paper, by combination of these two harmonic maps, we introduce and study f -bi-harmonic maps as the critical points of the f -bi-energy functional 1 2 ∫ M f |τ(φ)| dvg. This class of maps generalizes both concepts of harmonic maps and biharmonic maps. We first derive the f -biharmonic map equation and then use it to study f -bi-harmonicity of some special maps, including conformal maps between manifolds of same dimensions, some product maps between direct product manifold and singly warped product manifold, some projection maps from and some inclusion maps into a warped product manifold.

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.
متن کاملBiharmonic 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...

Harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds are maps which extremize a certain natural energy functional; they appear in particle physics as nonlinear sigma models. Their infinitesimal deformations are called Jacobi fields. It is important to know whether the Jacobi fields along the harmonic maps between given Riemannian manifolds are integrable, i.e., arise from genuine variations through harmo...
متن کاملQuasiconformal 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...
