Explicit harmonic morphisms and $p$-harmonic functions from the complex and quaternionic Grassmannians

Abstract

We construct explicit complex-valued $p$-harmonic functions and harmonic morphisms on the classical compact symmetric complex and quaternionic Grassmannians. The ingredients for our construction method are joint eigenfunctions of the classical Laplace-Beltrami and the so called conformality operator. A known duality principle implies that these $p$-harmonic functions and harmonic morphisms also induce such solutions on the Riemannian symmetric non-compact dual spaces.
