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 ...

Local solvability of a constrainedgradient system of total variation
A 1‐harmonic map flow equation, a gradient system of total variation where values of unknowns are constrained in a compact manifold in ℝN, is formulated by the use of subdifferentials of a singular energy—the total variation. An abstract convergence result is established to show that solutions of approximate problem converge to a solution of the limit ...

Families of (1, 2)‐symplectic metrics on full flag manifolds
We obtain new families of (1, 2)‐symplectic invariant metrics on the full complex flag manifolds F(n). For n ≥ 5, we characterize n − 3 different n‐dimensional families of (1, 2)‐symplectic invariant metrics on F(n). Each of these families corresponds to a different class of nonintegrable invariant almost complex structures on F(n).

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.

Harmonic close‐to‐convex mappings
Sufficient coefficient conditions for complex functions to be close‐to‐convex harmonic or convex harmonic are given. Construction of close‐to‐convex harmonic functions is also studied by looking at transforms of convex analytic functions. Finally, a convolution property for harmonic functions is discussed.

Biharmonic maps on V‐manifolds
We generalize biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds into the case of the domain being V‐manifolds. We obtain the first and second variations of biharmonic maps on V‐manifolds. Since a biharmonic map from a compact V‐manifold into a Riemannian manifold of nonpositive curvature is harmonic, we construct a biharmonic non‐harmonic map into a sphere.

Existence of multiple critical points for an asymptotically quadratic functional with applications
Morse theory for isolated critical points at infinity is used for the existence of multiple critical points for an asymptotically quadratic functional. Applications are also given for the existence of multiple nontrivial periodic solutions of asymptotically Hamiltonian systems.

Holomorphic harmonic morphisms from four-dimensional non-Einstein manifolds
We construct 4-dimensional Riemannian Lie groups carrying left-invariant conformal foliations with minimal leaves of codimension 2. We show that these foliations are holomorphic with respect to an (integrable) Hermitian structure which is not K\" ahler ...
