Geometric and Physical Properties of Curvature Tensors -A Review
Bernard Riemann was the first to define curvature tensor. Most of the curvature tensors are defined with the help of Riemann curvaturetensor, Ricci tensor and metric tensor.It has been observed that different combinations of Ricci tensor and metric ...

Lipschitz minimality of the multiplication maps of unit complex, quaternion and octonion numbers [PDF]
We prove that the multiplication maps S n S n ! S n (nD 1;3;7) for unit complex, quaternion and octonion numbers are, up to isometries of domain and range, the unique Lipschitz constant minimizers in their homotopy classes.

Some recent progress of biharmonic submanifolds [PDF]
In this note, we give a brief survey on some recent developments of biharmonic submanifolds. After reviewing some recent progress on Chen’s biharmonic conjecture, the Generalized Chen’s conjecture on biharmonic submanifolds of non-positively curved ...

Holomorphic harmonic morphisms from cosymplectic almost Hermitian manifolds [PDF]
We study 4-dimensional Riemannian manifolds equipped with a minimal and conformal foliation $\mathcal F$ of codimension 2. We prove that the two adapted almost Hermitian structures $J_1$ and $J_2$ are both cosymplectic if and only if $\mathcal F$ is ...

Smooth long‐time existence of Harmonic Ricci Flow on surfaces
Abstract We prove that at a finite singular time for the Harmonic Ricci Flow on a surface of positive genus both the energy density of the map component and the curvature of the domain manifold have to blow up simultaneously. As an immediate consequence, we obtain smooth long‐time existence for the Harmonic Ricci Flow with large coupling constant.

As a generalization of semi-invariant Riemannian maps from almost Hermitian manifols, we first introduce generic Riemannian maps from almost Hermitian manifolds to Riemannian manifolds, give examples, obtain decomposition theorems and investigate ...

Minimizing energy among homotopic maps
We study an energy minimizing sequence {ui} in a fixed homotopy class of smooth maps from a 3‐manifold. After deriving an approximate monotonicity property for {ui} and a continuous version of the Luckhaus lemma (Simon, 1996) on S2, we show that, passing to a subsequence, {ui} converges strongly in W1,2 topology wherever there is small energy ...

Harmonicity of horizontally conformal maps and spectrum of the Laplacian
We discuss the harmonicity of horizontally conformal maps and their relations with the spectrum of the Laplacian. We prove that if Φ : M → N is a horizontally conformal map such that the tension field is divergence free, then Φ is harmonic. Furthermore, if N is noncompact, then Φ must be constant.

Chen's conjecture and epsilon-superbiharmonic submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds
B.-Y. Chen famously conjectured that every submanifold of Euclidean space with harmonic mean curvature vector is minimal. In this note we establish a much more general statement for a large class of submanifolds satisfying a growth condition at infinity.
