Harmonicity and Minimality of Vector Fields on Lorentzian Lie Groups
author
Abstract:
We consider four-dimensional lie groups equipped with left-invariant Lorentzian Einstein metrics, and determine the harmonicity properties of vector fields on these spaces. In some cases, all these vector fields are critical points for the energy functional restricted to vector fields. We also classify vector fields defining harmonic maps, and calculate explicitly the energy of these vector fields. Then we study the minimality of critical points for the energy functional.

Minimality and Harmonicity for Hopf Vector Fields
We determine when the Hopf vector fields on orientable real hypersurfaces (M, g) in complex space forms are minimal or harmonic. Furthermore, we determine when these vector fields give rise to harmonic maps from (M, g) to the unit tangent sphere bundle (T1M, gS). In particular, we consider the special case of Hopf hypersurfaces and of ruled hypersurfaces. The Hopf vector fields on Hopf hypersur...

full textMinimality and Harmonicity in Differential Geometry
The theory of minimal surfaces and more generally of minimal immersions is one of the most fashionable branches in Diierential Geometry. Since the very early stage of the theory it was clear that there was a strong link between minimality and harmonicity. From a relation of E. Beltrami 4] follows that a surface in R 3 is minimal if and only if the components of the position vector are harmonic ...
full textInstability of Hopf vector fields on Lorentzian Berger spheres
In this work, we study the stability of Hopf vector fields on Lorentzian Berger spheres as critical points of the energy, the volume and the generalized energy. In order to do so, we construct a family of vector fields using the simultaneous eigenfunctions of the Laplacian and of the vertical Laplacian of the sphere. The Hessians of the functionals are negative when they act on these particular...
