Global existence and convergence of heat flow for p-harmonic maps.

In this paper, we first obtain an $L^q$ gradient estimate for $p$-harmonic maps, by assuming the target manifold supporting a certain function, whose gradient and Hessian satisfy some analysis conditions. From this $L^q$ gradient estimate, we get a corresponding Liouville type result for $p$-harmonic maps. Secondly, us…

The paper proves a Liouville theorem for a specific type of harmonic maps on foliated manifolds.

Let $M$ be a $C^2$-smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary and $N$ a complete $C^2$-smooth Riemannian manifold. We show that each stationary $p$-harmonic mapping $u\colon M\to N$, whose image lies in a compact subset of $N$, is locally $C^{1,α}$ for some $α\in (0,1)$, provided that $N$ is simply connected and has non-…

We prove that, in general, given a $p$-harmonic map $F:M\to N$ and a convex function $H:N\to\mathbb{R}$, the composition $H\circ F$ is not $p$-subharmonic. By assuming some rotational symmetry on manifolds and functions, we reduce the problem to an ordinary differential inequality. The key of the proof is an asymptotic…

The paper proves vanishing and finiteness theorems for p-harmonic 1-forms.

We introduce and study an approximate solution of the p-Laplace equation, and a linearlization $L_ε$ of a perturbed p-Laplace operator. By deriving an $L_ε$-type Bochner's formula and a Kato type inequality, we prove a Liouville type theorem for weakly p-harmonic functions with finite p-energy on a complete noncompact …

The paper investigates Liouville type theorems for various harmonic forms on Riemannian manifolds.

We study a second order ordinary differential equation corresponding to rotationally symmetric $p$-harmonic maps. We show unique continuation and Liouville's type theorems for positive solutions. We discuss the existence of bounded positive entire solutions. Asymptotic properties of the positive solutions are investiga…

We prove a general comparison result for homotopic finite $p$-energy $C^{1}$ $p$-harmonic maps $u,v:M\to N$ between Riemannian manifolds, assuming that $M$ is $p$-parabolic and $N$ is complete and non-positively curved. In particular, we construct a homotopy through constant $p$-energy maps, which turn out to be $p$-ha…

Proves existence of maximizers for eigenvalue optimization on manifolds.

We investigate monotonicity properties of $p$-harmonic vector bundle-valued $k$-forms by studying the energy-momentum tensor associated with such a form. As a consequence, we obtain a unified proof of the monotonicity formulæ for $p$-harmonic maps and Yang-Mills connections, proving a monotonicity formula for $p$-Yang-…

Harmonic morphisms and p-harmonic functions constructed on symmetric spaces.

Adapting \cite{strz3}, we define generalized $p$-harmonic maps into Riemannian homogeneous targets, a notion of solutions not belonging to the energy space. Restricting our attention to the subcritical range $p$ greater than the domain dimension $n$, we show a uniform $C^{1,α}$-regularity result for a sequence of such …

In this note, we investigate estimates of the Morse index for F-harmonic maps into spheres, our results extend partially those obtained in ([14]) and ([15]) for harmonic and p-harmonic maps.

In this two papers we deal with the relative homotopy Dirichlet problem for p-harmonic maps from compact manifolds with boundary to manifolds of non-positive sectional curvature. Notably, we give a complete solution to the problem in case the target manifold is either compact and a new proof in case it is rotationally …

In this note, we show that some F-harmonic maps into spheres are global maxima of the variations of their energy functional on the conformal group of the sphere. Our result extends partially those obtained in [15] and [17] for harmonic and p-harmonic maps.

The paper studies geometric properties of $Φ_{(3)}$-harmonic maps and proves Liouville type results.

Constructs explicit $p$-harmonic functions on Grassmannians and flag manifolds.

Let $p$ be a real number greater number greater than one. Suppose that a graph $G$ of bounded degree is quasi-isometric with a Riemannian manifold $M$ with certain properties. Under these conditions we will show that the $p$-harmonic boundary of $G$ is homeomorphic to the $p$-harmonic boundary of $M$. We will also prov…

Paper solves Minkowski problem for p-harmonic measures.

Let $p$ be a real number greater than one and let $G$ be a connected graph of bounded degree. In this paper we introduce the $p$-harmonic boundary of $G$. We use this boundary to characterize the graphs $G$ for which the constant functions are the only $p$-harmonic functions on $G$. It is shown that any continuous func…

Constructs explicit p-harmonic functions on specific Lie groups.

New p-harmonic and harmonic morphisms found on Lie groups.

In this article, we study the regularity of minimizing and stationary $p$-harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. The aim is obtaining Minkowski-type volume estimates on the singular set $S(f)=\{x \ \ s.t. \ \ f \text{ is not continuous at } x\}$, as opposed to the weaker and non quantitative Hausdorff dimension bo…

$\infty$-Harmonic maps are a generalization of $\infty$-harmonic functions. They can be viewed as the limiting cases of p-harmonic maps as p goes to infinity. In this paper, we give complete classifications of linear and quadratic $\infty$-harmonic maps from and into a sphere, quadratic $\infty$-harmonic maps between E…

We study the asymptotics as $p\uparrow 2$ of stationary $p$-harmonic maps $u_p\in W^{1,p}(M,S^1)$ from a compact manifold $M^n$ to $S^1$, satisfying the natural energy growth condition $\int_M|du_p|^p=O(\frac{1}{2-p}).$ Along a subsequence $p_j\to 2$, we show that the singular sets $Sing(u_{p_j})$ converge to the sup…

We show that on any Riemannian manifold with Hölder continuous metric tensor, there exists a $p$-harmonic coordinate system near any point. When $p = n$ this leads to a useful gauge condition for regularity results in conformal geometry. As applications, we show that any conformal mapping between manifolds having $C^α$…

Study finds nontrivial $n$-harmonic maps from $S^n$ to closed manifolds.

Derives new monotone quantities for p-harmonic functions on asymptotically flat 3-manifolds.

In contrast to an infinite family of explicit examples of two-dimensional $p$-harmonic functions obtained by G.Aronsson in the late 80s, there is very little known about the higher-dimensional case. In this paper, we show how to use isoparametric polynomials to produce diverse examples of $p$-harmonic and biharmonic fu…

In this paper, we show several vanishing type theorems for $p$-harmonic $\ell$-forms on Riemannian manifolds ($p\geq2$). First of all, we consider complete non-compact immersed submanifolds $M^n$ of ${N}^{n+m}$ with flat normal bundle, we prove that any $p$-harmonic $\ell$-forms on $M$ is trivial if $N$ has pure curvat…

Develops a framework for generating harmonic maps from a unit ball to a sphere.

This article studies the smoothness of conformal mappings between two Riemannian manifolds whose metric tensors have limited regularity. We show that any bi-Lipschitz conformal mapping or $1$-quasiregular mapping between two manifolds with $C^r$ metric tensors ($r > 1$) is a $C^{r+1}$ conformal (local) diffeomorphism. …

For positive $p$-harmonic functions on Riemannian manifolds, we derive a gradient estimate and Harnack inequality with constants depending only on the lower bound of the Ricci curvature, the dimension $n$, $p$ and the radius of the ball on which the function is defined. Our approach is based on a careful application of…
