Developments of Harmonic Maps, Wave Maps and Yang-Mills Fields into Biharmonic Maps, Biwave Maps and Bi-Yang-Mills Fields
Author: Yuan-Jen Chiang
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3034805349
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds were first established by James Eells and Joseph H. Sampson in 1964. Wave maps are harmonic maps on Minkowski spaces and have been studied since the 1990s. Yang-Mills fields, the critical points of Yang-Mills functionals of connections whose curvature tensors are harmonic, were explored by a few physicists in the 1950s, and biharmonic maps (generalizing harmonic maps) were introduced by Guoying Jiang in 1986. The book presents an overview of the important developments made in these fields since they first came up. Furthermore, it introduces biwave maps (generalizing wave maps) which were first studied by the author in 2009, and bi-Yang-Mills fields (generalizing Yang-Mills fields) first investigated by Toshiyuki Ichiyama, Jun-Ichi Inoguchi and Hajime Urakawa in 2008. Other topics discussed are exponential harmonic maps, exponential wave maps and exponential Yang-Mills fields.

Harmonic Morphisms, Harmonic Maps and Related Topics
Author: Christopher Kum Anand
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781584880325
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
The subject of harmonic morphisms is relatively new but has attracted a huge worldwide following. Mathematicians, young researchers and distinguished experts came from all corners of the globe to the City of Brest - site of the first, international conference devoted to the fledgling but dynamic field of harmonic morphisms. Harmonic Morphisms, Harmonic Maps, and Related Topics reports the proceedings of that conference, forms the first work primarily devoted to harmonic morphisms, bringing together contributions from the founders of the subject, leading specialists, and experts in other related fields. Starting with "The Beginnings of Harmonic Morphisms," which provides the essential background, the first section includes papers on the stability of harmonic morphisms, global properties, harmonic polynomial morphisms, Bochner technique, f-structures, symplectic harmonic morphisms, and discrete harmonic morphisms. The second section addresses the wider domain of harmonic maps and contains some of the most recent results on harmonic maps and surfaces. The final section highlights the rapidly developing subject of constant mean curvature surfaces. Harmonic Morphisms, Harmonic Maps, and Related Topics offers a coherent, balanced account of this fast-growing subject that furnishes a vital reference for anyone working in the field.

On Harmonic Maps Into Conic Surfaces

Publisher: Stanford University
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
We prove the existence and uniqueness of harmonic maps in degree one homotopy classes of closed, orientable surfaces of positive genus, where the target has non-positive gauss curvature and conic points with cone angles less than $2\pi$. For a homeomorphism $w$ of such a surface, we prove existence and uniqueness of minimizers in the homotopy class of $w$ relative to the inverse images of the cone points with cone angles less than or equal to $\pi$. We show that such maps are homeomorphisms and that they depend smoothly on the target metric. For fixed geometric data, the space of minimizers in relative degree one homotopy classes is a complex manifold of (complex) dimension equal to the number of cone points with cone angles less than or equal to $\pi$. When the genus is zero, we prove the same relative minimization provided there are at least three cone points of cone angle less than or equal to $\pi$.

Harmonic Mappings in the Plane
Author: Peter Duren
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9781139451277
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Harmonic mappings in the plane are univalent complex-valued harmonic functions of a complex variable. Conformal mappings are a special case where the real and imaginary parts are conjugate harmonic functions, satisfying the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Harmonic mappings were studied classically by differential geometers because they provide isothermal (or conformal) parameters for minimal surfaces. More recently they have been actively investigated by complex analysts as generalizations of univalent analytic functions, or conformal mappings. Many classical results of geometric function theory extend to harmonic mappings, but basic questions remain unresolved. This book is the first comprehensive account of the theory of planar harmonic mappings, treating both the generalizations of univalent analytic functions and the connections with minimal surfaces. Essentially self-contained, the book contains background material in complex analysis and a full development of the classical theory of minimal surfaces, including the Weierstrass-Enneper representation. It is designed to introduce non-specialists to a beautiful area of complex analysis and geometry.
