Dirac-harmonic maps with potential
Volker Branding
We study the influence of an additional scalar potential on various geometric and analytic properties of Dirac-harmonic maps. We will create a mathematical wish list of the possibl…
Some analytic results on interpolating sesqui-harmonic maps
Volker Branding
In this article we study various analytic aspects of interpolating sesqui-harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds where we mostly focus on the case of a spherical target. The la…
Higher order energy functionals
Volker Branding, Stefano Montaldo, Cezar Oniciuc +1
The study of higher order energy functionals was first proposed by Eells and Sampson in 1965 and, later, by Eells and Lemaire in 1983. These functionals provide a natural generaliz…
The stress-energy tensor for polyharmonic maps
Volker Branding
We derive the stress-energy tensor for polyharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. Moreover, we employ the stress-energy tensor to characterize polyharmonic maps where we pay s…
A structure theorem for polyharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds
Volker Branding
We prove that polyharmonic maps of arbitrary order from complete nonparabolic Riemannian manifolds to arbitrary Riemannian manifolds must be harmonic if certain smallness and integ…
